Federal Government Transactions (WA): Affordable Housing Deals and Counsel

February 22nd, 2016 / By I Am The Law

This episode is presented by The United States Air Force Judge Advocate General’s Corp.

The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, through a system of rules, regulations, and incentives, seeks to create strong, sustainable, and inclusive communities in recognition of every citizen’s right to affordable housing. Naturally, such a system requires lawyers to dot the i’s, cross the t’s, and keep the system moving and improving.

Kevin Krainz is a 2013 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School and HUD attorney in the Seattle regional office. In this episode, he tells us about his roles at HUD and how it differs from other types of public interest work related to affordable housing.

This episode is hosted by Debby Merritt, a law professor at The Ohio State University. It is sponsored by Barbri, ShouldIBeALawyer.com, and Top-Law-Schools.com.
