Calyx is a WBE-certified affordable housing finance and development advisory firm. We work with nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and private companies to structure, finance, and deliver mixed-use projects through public-private partnerships to create housing, employment, and community opportunities that center people and resist displacement.

Practice areas

Development partnerships
We serve as fee developers and capital advisors, bringing the expertise to structure financing, source and place capital, and manage the full development process on behalf of our clients. Whether you bring site control, community relationships, or construction capacity, we build the financial model, establish the project framework and the most capable team around you.

Plan and finance
Every project begins with a question: can this work, and under what conditions? We run rigorous feasibility analysis, structure LIHTC transactions — both 9% competitive credits and 4% tax-exempt bond deals — and prepare competitive funding applications across federal, state, and local programs. Our goal is a financial model that is sustainable from day one and resilient over the long term.

Deliver and build
Predevelopment is more art than science. We manage the critical path from initial planning through construction financing closing, coordinating your development team, pushing on agency timelines, fulfilling due diligence requirements, and keeping your project moving toward the finish line.

Operate and optimize
Our work doesn’t stop at closing. We support operational readiness, asset stewardship, debt conversions, and Year 15 exits — helping sponsors protect and maximize the value of what they’ve built.

Capability building

We invest in the next generation of affordable housing practitioners through mentorship, speaking engagements, and panel participation.
