We work with housing authorities and their private-sector development partners nationwide, advising on the demolition, disposition, development, and redevelopment of public housing projects.
Our work includes implementing mixed-finance projects, assisting with RAD conversions, obtaining HUD regulatory waivers, structuring and closing transactions involving capital fund bonds, and private financings using various tax credits. We have closed transactions and guided implementation of numerous affordable housing projects nationwide, including mixed-income and mixed-use developments. Our attorneys assist clients in planning and executing innovative transactions, including many of the earliest, largest, and most successful green energy improvements in public housing redevelopment, as well as projects including continuing care facilities, school construction, and transit-oriented development.
We also assist housing authorities with programs such as Moving to Work, Section 8 contracts, asset management, and the Section 30 Public Housing Mortgage Program, as well as Fair Housing Act and Section 504 issues and HUD Office of Inspector General (OIG) investigations. Our lawyers have developed productive working relationships with HUD officials and have a solid understanding of their programs and procedures.
