Primarily serving the developers of Affordable Housing in California, Jed D’Abravanel guides clients in finance, real estate, and nonprofit law issues. Additionally, Jed represents developers in transactions utilizing various HUD programs and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), as well as California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), and local funding sources. He helps clients structure and close on new construction and redevelopments of existing income-restricted housing.    Focused on making organizations more effective in developing their projects, Jed characterizes his role as “a project manager’s project manager.” He ensures that he knows the details of everything that’s going on at all levels, in order to anticipate and prevents problems, and act as a “fixer” if something gets off track. With strong communication skills and an ability to gauge his audience, he translates legalese and breaks down complex concepts to make them clear to non-lawyers. Jed also brings a broad and deep knowledge base to his practice, encompassing topics well beyond the law and housing issues, as well as a good sense of humor and a healthy dose of empathy strengthened during his time in the Peace Corps in Morocco.
