    Affordable Housing

    We help shape housing policy, anticipate issues, and cut through regulations to keep affordable housing investments on track.

    Overview

    Affordable, quality housing is essential to any thriving neighborhood. We make a positive impact on our communities by leveraging our knowledge of the development, financing, and regulation of affordable and public housing. Our team, including former U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) attorneys and advisors, brings unparalleled experience with federally assisted housing run by HUD and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Agency. We work closely with developers, investors, lenders, and public agencies to preserve existing affordable housing, create new projects, and access capital markets for funding. Whether it’s securing multimillion-dollar financing for mixed-use projects or advising on the development of a first-of-its-kind, low-income affordable housing project for LGBT seniors, Nixon Peabody has the right experience, talent, and team to tackle any challenge.
