Affordable Housing
McGuireWoods’ multidisciplinary affordable housing team is experienced in all aspects of affordable and mixed-income/mixed-use housing and community development matters that include a wide-ranging area of needs. Our clients include all participants in the affordable housing market: developers, lenders — including bank community development departments, bank direct purchasers of tax-exempt and taxable bonds, and multifamily agency lenders pursuant to the Fannie Mae Multifamily Affordable Housing and Freddie Mac Targeted Affordable Housing programs — public housing authorities, state housing finance agencies and other bond issuers, owners, managers, underwriters and placement agents.
Our team is dedicated to counseling clients on all sides of affordable housing developments and transactions, and providing clients with real estate, tax, finance and government affairs solutions. We advise on low-income housing tax credits, historic tax credits, new market tax credits, public-private partnerships, housing assistance payments contracts and other rental subsidies, inclusionary housing programs, governmental financing and economic development initiatives, tax allocation district formation and financing, and other tax-exempt bond financings.
Affordable housing and community development transactions raise intricate legal considerations that can be difficult to navigate. Our clients benefit from the legal know-how of our lawyers and the sound counsel of our government affairs colleagues from McGuireWoods Consulting, who together provide creative business solutions while ensuring compliance with the complex regulations governing affordable housing developments and investments.
Our team members have the knowledge, experience and strategic insights to help clients navigate the challenging and broad areas of affordable housing finance and development, and to shape housing industry policy so we can anticipate issues, cut through complex regulatory frameworks and keep affordable housing transactions moving forward.
