In California, as well as in other states, housing developers face a daunting maze of processes and tasks that can take years to complete before housing units are ready to be occupied. Fred Consulting Associates assists developers, both non-profit and for profit, in bringing their projects to completion by providing the following services:

We identify and secure financing for affordable housing such as low-income housing tax credits, mortgage revenue bonds and other private or public resources that can provide the needed capital to complete a project.

We work as project managers, writing the development pro formas, submitting applications for funding, coordinating the team of attorneys, architects, and city and/or county officials, and financing agencies from the project proposal stage through construction to project completion.

We participate in all phases of land use planning, including site evaluations, as well as the public approval process, including planning commission hearings, city council hearings, county boards of supervisors hearings, design review, etc.

We manage all phases of financing, from submitting the applications through managing the use of funds to ensure compliance with state regulations.

We assist in the formation of limited partnerships and in negotiating the equity paid in by the limited partners.

We are experienced in the development of either owner-occupied affordable housing, or public housing projects for identified populations, such as assisted living centers for seniors, etc.

Fred Consulting Associates is uniquely qualified to match creative housing projects with available sources of financing, and to coordinate all of the professionals involved to meet required deadlines and resolve the many conflicts that can arise. These tasks are often outside the expertise of a housing developer’s staff. Contracting with Fred Consulting Associates affords developers the ability to expand their market potential in the affordable housing arena.
