Consultants for RAD

    RAD Consulting Services

    TFG's RAD consultants have guided housing authorities and their development partners through every stage of the RAD conversion process — from initial feasibility analysis and CHAP award through financing, closing, and implementation. This is our core RAD service page covering methodology, workflow, and engagement structure.

    How this page differs: a general overview of our RAD service offering. For the PHA-specific angle — board dynamics, ACC mechanics, Capital Fund coordination — see RAD for Housing Authorities. For a side-by-side comparison guide, see the RAD vs. Section 18 resource.

    Why PHAs Hire TFG for RAD Consulting

    • RAD strategy grounded in real-world PHA operations, financing, and implementation
    • Experience supporting conversions from early feasibility and CHAP through closing and construction
    • Integration of RAD with LIHTC, FHA financing, soft funding, and other redevelopment tools
    • Practical repositioning strategies focused on long-term portfolio sustainability and growth
    • Hands-on guidance through resident engagement, relocation planning, HUD coordination, and closing

    Pair RAD with the Right Repositioning Strategy

    Successful repositioning efforts often combine RAD with other HUD and housing finance tools depending on the needs of the property, capital needs, and long-term agency goals. TFG helps PHAs evaluate when to utilize RAD, Section 18, LIHTC, FHA financing, and other redevelopment strategies to maximize project feasibility and long-term impact.
