Our Finance Department is uniquely positioned to structure the
financing and equity for complex affordable housing developments.
Seasoned finance professionals secure equity, construction and permanent
debt for Community Builders projects and for affordable housing
projects sponsored by other non-profits. Finance staff structure
real estate syndications, in which individuals and corporations
invest in project limited partnerships or limited liability corporations
in exchange for tax benefits. An affiliate of Community Builders
is often the general partner/managing member for the project in
charge of day to day operations.
Community Builders has been on the cutting edge of tax credit syndication
for the non-profit community for over 30 years, helping set up some
of the first syndicated non-profit affordable housing projects in
the country. Early projects utilized accelerated depreciation as
the primary benefit for investors. Since the Tax Reform Act of 1986,
Community Builders has been an innovator in structuring deals using
the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC).
Community Builders has been a national leader in mixed finance
for public housing redevelopment. Finance staff structure debt and
equity for our HOPE VI and mixed finance projects. The complex work
of public housing privatization requires skill in meshing older
public housing regulations with new private financing and investment
tools. Our extensive experience with more than a dozen HOPE VI mixed
finance transactions makes Community Builders a leading expert in
the field.
