America's 1.15 million public housing units face more than $60 billion in capital repair needs amid unreliable federal funding, pushing housing authorities to explore innovative repositioning strategies.

This presentation examines key funding tools – including Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (both 9 percent and 4 percent), the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, Section 18 demolition/disposition, blended conversions, and Restore/Rebuild strategies – that enable public housing authorities to access private debt and equity capital.

It covers the formation and use of affiliated entities for development, property management and liability protection. The presentation also addresses Year 15 planning for LIHTC investments, investor exit strategies, and the emerging threat of "aggregators" — private entities that acquire investor interests and use litigation leverage to extract value from affordable housing developments. Lunch will be provided.

The Taxation Section Annual Meeting, including the election of officers and council for the 2026-27 bar year, will immediately follow the program.

Speakers:
Sarah H. Winters, Associate, Fox Rothschild
