Affordable Housing and Community Development

Barnes & Thornburg’s attorneys have provided comprehensive guidance to housing authorities, private developers, nonprofits, and investors to help maximize transaction value while navigating market shifts, regulatory requirements, and government incentive programs. 

Our affordable housing attorneys have facilitated complex transactions nationwide, often involving layered financing structures that include Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), HUD-insured loans, and tax-exempt bonds. They have played critical roles in LIHTC projects and have advised housing authorities and other stakeholders on mixed-finance transactions, RAD conversions, and comprehensive development initiatives. We also have extensive experience combining LIHTC with other state and federal tax credit programs.

With a robust national presence, Barnes & Thornburg leverages decades of experience to deliver creative, practical solutions informed by best practices from across the country. Our work spans regulatory compliance, corporate governance, construction-related matters, and litigation, reflecting a deep understanding of the statutory frameworks governing public housing agencies and public-private partnerships.
