Financing and permit-acceleration services for developers converting older buildings into affordable housing.
Permitting acceleration & adaptive-reuse financing
Proposition 45’s proposed CEQA deadlines, HUD’s 2026 policy shifts, and recent construction loans for downtown conversions suggest a narrow window for office‑to‑housing work. Borrowing costs remain unusually low, candidates are pitching housing fixes, and local density debates plus rising demand for trades point to urgent need for faster permitting, conversion finance and modular construction crews.
