About This Course
Affordable housing projects are uniquely vulnerable to delay due to overlapping legal, regulatory, and financing requirements. This CLE program offers attorneys a grounded, practical examination of the factors that most commonly slow or jeopardize affordable housing developments. The course explains how key funding mechanisms—including LIHTC, HOME, and CDBG—are structured and how misalignment among these programs can create legal and timing challenges that impact project delivery.
The program focuses on real-world development pressures, including zoning approvals, regulatory compliance, layered financing, and coordination among public and private stakeholders. Attendees will develop a clearer understanding of where legal issues tend to arise, how early legal intervention can preserve deals, and what strategies attorneys can use to help clients manage risk, control costs, and keep affordable housing projects moving forward.
