Scott Henry, Founder of Celadon Partners, joins to discuss the ins and outs of Affordable Housing Development including tax credits, grants, and construction considerations.

Scott starts by sharing his experience working at JPMorgan's Low Income Housing Tax Credit investment group and his transition to developing affordable housing! He provides a case study of an adaptive reuse project and gets granular on how the acquisition opportunity was presented, how the capital was raised, and construction considerations. Scott shares notable due diligence stories and talks about what to look for in buildings when considering adaptive reuse redevelopment. This is a great show that sheds light on the opportunities and incentives available for affordable housing developers!
