Millennial Housing Commission
The Commission, which was authorized in the fiscal year 2000 VA HUD Appropriations bill, was established to develop legislative and regulatory recommendations for Congress to improve the delivery of housing services to low- and moderate-income Americans and expand affordable housing opportunities.
The Commission in turn engaged Compass to provide policy recommendations related to subsidized rental production and preservation. Compass consulted with industry leaders and drafted a series of concept papers and financial models. These products served as the framework for the Commission’s reports and legislative proposals.
Compass has a deep capacity to synthesize complex and contentious housing finance and policy issues. Our experience is broad, working with the private ownership, finance and management industries, interest groups, housing regulators, and legislative bodies. This breadth enables us to broker solutions amongst stakeholders with varying priorities and perspectives.
