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.
