Local governments play a critical role in addressing housing affordability, neighborhood revitalization, and equitable community development.
At the same time, communities must administer complex federal and state housing programs, manage development activity, and respond to increasing demand for housing stability and homelessness services.
We work with cities, counties, and housing authorities to strengthen community development and housing programs so they can effectively meet these evolving challenges.
Our team assists local governments with evaluating and improving the structure, staffing, and operations of community development and housing departments. We conduct organizational and operational assessments, evaluate development review processes, and help communities align policy goals with program implementation. This work often includes reviewing the administration of housing initiatives such as affordable housing programs, housing rehabilitation and neighborhood improvement programs, first-time homebuyer assistance programs, and tenant-based rental assistance programs.
We also support communities that administer federal housing and community development funding, including programs such as Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and related housing stability and homelessness initiatives. Our work helps communities strengthen compliance, improve program management, and ensure resources are used effectively to support local housing priorities.
By combining expertise in housing policy, organizational assessment, and local government operations, we help communities build stronger housing programs, improve coordination across departments, and position their community development initiatives to deliver meaningful results for residents.
