FAQs
We address some of the more common questions here, but feel free to contact us for a consultation.
PRESERVING INDEPENDENT LIVING
Studies have shown that the best living arrangement for the physical and mental health of an older person is to live on their own in their own space, whenever possible. This is called independent living. Occasional help with some tasks from a home health aide or other assistance may be needed, so these services are offered separately from rent and can be arranged for anyone living at home, whether in a single-family house or an apartment complex for people over 62.
STRENGTHENING NON-PROFITS
Just because your organization is a nonprofit doesn’t mean you can’t earn your own money to fulfill your mission. Developing affordable housing—either by yourself or with a development adviser—gives you the chance to serve the needs of your community while also earning unrestricted revenue for your mission.
HARNESSING TAX CREDITS
Do something good for your community by building affordable housing for your older residents, and the government will reward you with a credit you can use to reduce your tax bill. If you’re a nonprofit organization that doesn’t pay taxes, get yourself a for-profit partner, and you can both benefit.
HELPING YOU NAVIGATE FUNDING
Layering subsidies, grants, and state and federal funds to bring down the cost of operating affordable housing can be a tedious and complex process. That’s why Praxia Partners in here to help. Every subsidy you can apply brings down the cost of rent and expands your potential customer base. With decades of experience in complex financing, we can help you navigate the process so on your organization’s mission.
