Asset Management Services
 

Common Ground works with owners and funders of subsidized housing to ensure that individual properties and full portfolios are operating well and that systems and resources are in place so that each property continues to provide good quality affordable housing for tenants, a solid asset for owners, and public benefits originally intended by funders.

 

All subsidized housing projects should have an ongoing assessment process and plan to preserve the physical condition of the property, keep the property fully occupied, track financial performance and compliance with funding requirements. Common Ground understands the responsibility that owners of take on when they develop and operate their publically subsidized housing project. Our asset management services are focused on stabilizing occupancy, improving management opportunities, creating positive cash flow, financing long-term capital needs, preserving affordability, realizing potential deferred developer fees, identifying the true costs of operations and understanding operating subsidy strategies. Funders support our work in asset management in order to protect their investments, achieve loan repayment, and assure that owners comply with funding commitments.
