Of the ten largest affordable housing developers in the country, none advertises advisory services to outside clients. Of the consultancies that advise on housing, not one has ever carried development risk. We do both, and we publish the rule that keeps them apart.

Developer rankings: Affordable Housing Finance, Top 50 Affordable Housing Developers of 2025.

We can’t predict the future. We can predict the room.

Public, private, nonprofit or philanthropic, we know the questions that room will ask and where a deal is likely to break. We spent our years doing the work, not writing about it, so our advice carries lived experience, practical knowledge and academic preparation.
