Specialized Guidance for Complex Credit Structures

For developers, investors, housing authorities, and other project stakeholders, affordable housing and historic tax credit (HTC) work rarely turns on one issue alone. The pressure comes from all sides: rising construction costs, layered capital stacks, investor reporting, credit compliance, agency requirements, and the long tail of decisions that continue well after a deal closes. The work is technical, and the economics leave limited room for missteps.

Springline supports clients across the tax, compliance, and financial issues that shape how these projects are structured, maintained, and ultimately realized. That includes LIHTC and historic tax credit strategy, cost certifications, basis analysis, REAC submissions, investor reporting, tax-exempt bond applications, and exit planning. Built for the middle market, our big, small firm model combines partner-level attention with the broader capabilities needed to support highly specialized project work.

The Economics Are Tighter. The Standards Are Not.

Affordable housing and historic tax credit projects continue to play an important role in financing housing and redevelopment. But the market has become less forgiving. Project teams are balancing tighter economics, evolving requirements, and more scrutiny across the life of the deal.

In Their Own Words

Results are one thing. Relationships are another. At Springline, we work hard to earn both. Here’s what our clients say.

We know when working with the Springline team that we don’t have to worry. They know all the questions to ask and create a seamless process for everyone. I love working with such an experienced, competent and creative team. Their team members are focused, they’re experts, and they’re willing to think outside the box.

Without the credits we earned thanks to the team at Springline, this project would not have happened — hands down, bar none. Because of these tax credits, there are a lot of beautiful buildings across the state that are being saved.
