Full Cycle Development Services
From site control to stabilized occupancy, The Nash Group delivers every phase of affordable housing development with the insider knowledge that only comes from decades in government, finance, and the communities we serve.
LIHTC Applications
Winning 4% and 9% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit applications, informed by Dr. Nash's tenure as MHDC Vice Chairman. We know how applications are scored because we helped design the criteria.
Site Selection
Strategic site identification shaped by 8 years as City Council Chair presiding over $10B+ in land use and development approvals. We evaluate sites the way decision makers do.
Financing
Capital stack assembly across tax credits, soft funds, construction loans, and permanent financing. Our projects routinely layer 6+ sources into a single closing.
Construction
Hands on construction oversight from GC procurement through certificate of occupancy. We manage the build so the budget, timeline, and quality stay on track.
Partnerships
Co development with faith partners, municipalities, transit authorities, and housing agencies. We bring the development expertise so our partners can focus on their mission.
Compliance
HUD program compliance, fair housing requirements, and LIHTC monitoring built on direct regulatory experience. Dr. Nash's JD and policy background keep every project audit ready.
What We Build
Affordable Housing
Quality homes for families at 30 to 60% Area Median Income. Dr. Nash grew up in housing like this. He builds it differently because he lived it, with 30+ year affordability protections.
Workforce Housing
Homes for the teachers, nurses, and first responders who keep Kansas City running, at 60 to 80% AMI. Dignified housing that essential workers deserve and can actually afford.
Mixed Income
Economically diverse communities where market rate and subsidized units share the same hallways, the same amenities, and the same standard of quality. Inclusion by design.
Transit Oriented
Housing at transit hubs so residents can reach jobs, healthcare, and opportunity without a car. Two active KCATA partnership projects prove this model works in Kansas City.
Proven Financing Tools
We build capital stacks that close. Our projects routinely layer multiple public and private sources because we understand both sides of the approval table.
