Non-Profit Assistance

Non-profit organizations, community-based groups, and resident groups which are developing housing and economic opportunities for lower income persons can engage RHLS to provide the following services:

Direct Legal Assistance

RHLS performs all necessary legal representation tasks to enable clients to —

• Structure projects
  
• Create entities to carry out projects
  
• Acquire, sell and lease property
  
• Negotiate and draft development and service contracts
  
• Negotiate and draft financing and investment documents
  
• Operate a non-profit organization

Preventive Legal Advice

Too often, community-based non-profit corporations retain attorneys only after they have tried to solve a problem without legal advice. RHLS attorneys help clients structure their activities from the outset to prevent future legal problems.

Effective Networking

Most housing and economic development projects require the involvement of multiple entities to obtain the necessary documentation, arrange financing, and complete construction. RHLS helps clients build productive partnerships by drawing from its vast web of contacts to bring the best qualified "partners" to the table for any given project.
