Affordable Housing

Affordable housing projects must be financially viable while meeting the regulatory requirements tied to public funding and long-term affordability. The structure selected at the outset can affect site acquisition and development. It may also shape how the property is owned and operated after completion. We help clients connect those decisions around the purpose of the project.

We advise developers, housing authorities, nonprofit organizations, lenders, and investors on new developments and the preservation or expansion of existing housing. Our work begins with property acquisition and financing, then continues through government approvals and construction. We also assist when a property must be repositioned or rehabilitated to extend its useful life.

These projects often depend on coordination among public and private participants. Financing sources may impose different requirements, while zoning and permitting decisions can affect the number of units or the development schedule. We help clients understand how those pieces fit together and address issues before they threaten the project.

Affordable housing matters draw on experience across real estate, public finance, and tax. Construction or environmental issues may also influence the strategy. We bring the appropriate perspectives together while keeping the project’s financial sustainability and housing objective in view.
