Nicholas J. Brunick

nbrunick@att-law.comPRACTICE:
Nick Brunick represents not-for-profit and for-profit developers, tax credit syndicators, and investors who are building or preserving affordable housing or developing commercial enterprises in low-income communities. He has experience with the full range of public and private financing sources used in the industry, including low-income housing tax credits, state tax credits, New Market Tax Credits (NMTC), HUD, USDA, and numerous city, state, and federal loan and grant programs. He also provides consulting services to municipalities, states, and not-for-profit community organizations on a range of public policy issues, including affordable housing.
Nick’s previous experience includes serving as the Director of Affordable Housing for Business and Professional People for the Public Interest, one of the nation’s premier public-interest organizations. His efforts there included legal, policy, and advocacy efforts to create and preserve affordable housing (especially near jobs and opportunity), to revitalize low-income communities, and to raise wages and incomes for working poor households. He helped to pass the first statewide rental subsidy program in Illinois (the largest in the country at the time), to develop new local inclusionary and affordable housing programs in the Chicago region, and to pass statewide legislation to encourage local municipalities to plan for and create more affordable housing. While at BPI, he also served as plaintiff class counsel for the Gautreaux plaintiff class, worked extensively with public housing residents, and served on HOPE VI redevelopment working groups, dealing with relocation, habitability, and financing issues.
