    /My focus

    I work with clients on a variety of affordable housing transactions, and I focus my practice on obtaining regulatory approvals from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), as well as other federal, state, and local agencies.

    /Looking ahead

    Rising interest rates will present a challenge for housing developers, so we must look for creative ways to generate affordable housing opportunities.
