Municipal Services

What sets LDS apart from its competitors is our knowledge in supply and demand analysis as well as our keen understanding of affordable housing finance. This expertise means we can not only determine a municipality’s affordable housing needs, but create plans that are economically viable for the municipality as well as prospective developers.

LDS provides a tutorial to educate municipal employees, local boards and committees as they begin the sometimes complex affordable housing planning process.
