The Affordable Housing group at Polsinelli Shughart PC has a nationwide practice with cutting-edge knowledge and industry experience regarding development and finance of projects utilizing federal historic tax credits (both as equity investments and as loans), federal energy tax credits, and federal low-income housing tax credits. Additionally, our team has experience with other federal, state and local tax credits and development incentives, such as state historic brownfields, energy and low-income housing tax credits, tax increment financing, tax abatement and tax-exempt bonds.
Our attorneys also have extensive knowledge and experience respecting HUD financed development, including such programs as HOPE VI, HUD 202 and 811 capital advances, HUD-insured loans and HOME and CDBG financing. Members of our affordable housing group are frequent speakers at national seminars on current topics and issues in this area. Our attorneys have the knowledge, experience and innovative techniques necessary to structure these challenging transactions, which typically involve multiple layers of debt and equity, and may also utilize master lease structures, government grants and other subsidies.
