How Affordable Housing Developers Can Tame Compliance Chaos

Delivering affordable housing is one of the most complex jobs in real estate development. With multiple funding sources, strict regulatory oversight, and thin project margins, developers face immense pressure to get every detail right.

But too often, the burden of compliance becomes the bottleneck.

Many teams still track requirements across spreadsheets, PDFs, and email threads—managing LIHTC, HUD, and local grant rules by hand. The result?

• Draw requests take days to assemble
• Documents go missing
• Reporting is reactive instead of real-time
• Reimbursement delays tie up cash and stall progress

For affordable housing developers, every dollar counts. Going over budget isn’t just inconvenient—it can threaten project viability. And with so many funding sources, proving how each one is used can feel like a full-time job.

Platforms like Built are helping developers eliminate compliance chaos and streamline disbursements.

Here’s how:

• Built-in compliance tracking: Automatically attach the right documents to every draw package, reducing risk of rejection or delay.
• Spend tracking by funding source: Clearly show how LIHTC, HUD, and local funds are used, with audit-ready reports generated in seconds.
• Faster draw submissions: What used to take days can now be done in hours – with guided workflows and real-time status tracking.
• Collaboration across teams and agencies: Everyone sees the same data, which means fewer emails and better alignment.

Built customers in affordable housing report:

• 80% faster draw cycle times
• 75% less audit prep
• More deals managed without increasing team size
