This CLE program provides attorneys with a practical, real-world examination of the legal and financial complexities that frequently delay or derail affordable housing developments. The course explores how major funding sources—such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding—intersect with regulatory compliance, zoning frameworks, and layered financing structures.
Through a detailed breakdown of development timelines and common project obstacles, participants will gain insight into the legal, administrative, and transactional pressures that shape affordable housing projects nationwide. The program highlights recurring risk points, coordination challenges among stakeholders, and regulatory requirements that often impact feasibility and project delivery.
Attorneys will leave with a deeper understanding of affordable housing finance structures and the strategic role legal counsel plays in identifying risk, facilitating compliance, and helping projects advance from concept to completion.
