Advisory

Effectively shape the affordable housing market

separator

Affordable housing, with both difficult-to-achieve social goals and complex finance, presents decision-making challenges to even the savviest participants. Neither good intentions nor money alone are enough to achieve success. Recap Advisors provides a full range of advisory services for participants in the affordable housing market.

Organizations need to negotiate complex economic and political environments to achieve their goals

The challenges to creating or preserving affordable housing are substantial. It’s difficult to put finance together. Circumstances change, making previously beneficial programs difficult and contentious. Organizations find that they lack the skills internally to reach their goals.

They need to make practical decisions without sacrificing their mission

They must start by understanding the consequences of possible alternatives. This requires both sophisticated financial modeling and a clear view of political processes. With a detailed knowledge of all possible funding sources and policy interventions, organizations can choose the best option.

Recap Advisors provides advisory services to all levels of government, capital sources, trade associations, and foundations and other non-profits

We devise custom programs and tools that enable policymakers and private capital sources to favorably shape the affordable housing market. National leaders call on Recap Advisors to aid them in developing affordable housing policy, creating new programs or initiatives, understanding how trends and proposed changes affect existing inventory, and shaping legislative and policy debate.
