Helping housing authorities and developers alike navigate affordable housing your community will be proud of.
LIHTC, Section 8, HUD financing, and Enterprise Green Communities requirements can make designing an affordable multifamily development a challenge. No matter if you want to include affordable units to your market-rate concept, build a new affordable development, student housing, or renovate existing affordable housing, our experienced designers will walk you through the process and construction.
Affordable Housing Overview
The world needs affordable housing. We will help you build it.
- Financing hurdles. There is a lot of red tape to get a project HUD, or LIHTC funded. Thankfully, we can assist you in the process with design compliance from our team of experienced designers.
- Designing with tight budgets. When every penny counts, your project will benefit from our in-house multidisciplinary teams all working together with your needs first and foremost. One A/E team working together for you, not an extraneous list of designers with their own priorities.
- Ensure efficiency of circulation. We design all projects to creatively account for required circulation, including driveways, sidewalks, stairs, elevators, and corridors.
- Create the right choice of systems. Based on decades of combined experience, we optimize structural, mechanical, and electrical systems for efficiency and functionality.
- Sustainable Design Options. Sustainability is a core strength and something we can prioritize when crafting your building designs. Whether it's energy modeling for Energy Star of C-PACE financing, we can do it all.
