The Jordan Price Affordable Housing and Community Development practice group provides counsel in matters relating to subsidized housing, community development, and municipal law matters. Firm lawyers in this practice have developed unique experience, each complementing others' key strengths. One lawyer, for example, is a certified Public Housing Manager.
With more than 25 years of experience in this field, this team of lawyers focuses on business, corporate and partnership law, and commercial and subsidized finance. Firm lawyers have garnered extensive knowledge in creating affordable housing through innovative development and rehabilitation of existing housing, and the team also works in the commercial real property areas, housing tax credit law, and mortgage lending.
Jordan Price lawyers have represented clients in matters involving nonprofit entities, partnerships, limited liability companies, and housing authorities throughout North Carolina and South Carolina and elsewhere on the East Coast, from New York to Florida, and in the Gulf Coast in public-private alliances as part of the recovery from the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Firm engagements include all types of contract negotiation matters, commercial real estate development, and complex leases, negotiations with local, state, and federal agencies, including North Carolina and South Carolina housing finance agencies, cities and counties, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Internal Revenue Service.
This Jordan Price team has extensive experience in home loan regulation, Federal Home Loan Bank financing, municipal bond financing of affordable housing, community development block grants, legislation, procurement, HOPE VI, and other state and federal financing sources of affordable housing and community development.
Firm lawyers advise governmental authorities, non-profits and other developers directing Section 8 programs on tenant landlord law, lease provisions, and drug and eviction policies.

Our team advises on employment issues, HOPE VI funding requirements, construction law, annual contribution contracts, general tax issues, tax appeals and other tax controversy, including property tax matters, tax exempt and taxable financing, tax credit transactions, and municipal law matters.
