A Capital Needs Assessment (CNA) is a comprehensive evaluation of a property’s physical condition, designed to assess its current state, identify deficiencies, and project future capital expenses needed for ongoing preservation. CNAs are integral for long-term planning and compliance, particularly when meeting the requirements of various lending programs and housing agencies.
As part of our expertise, we utilize all relevant CNA tools, including the CNA E-Tool, Property Condition Report (PCR), Physical Needs Assessment (PNA), Property Capital Needs Assessment (PCNA), and Property Condition Assessment (PCA). These tools help ensure that your assessment is accurate, detailed, and compliant with regulatory standards.
We partner with a wide range of professionals in the housing industry, including lenders, public housing authorities, developers, and both current and prospective property owners. Our reports are tailored to meet the specific needs of each client and are fully compliant with the requirements of HUD, RAD, USDA, Government-Sponsored Entities (GSEs), and State Housing Finance Agencies.
We also specialize in Green CNA services, including Rental Assistance Demonstration Property Condition Assessment (RPCA) and Green Property Condition Assessment (GPCA), for properties pursuing sustainability goals and certifications.
For those requiring State Tax Credit compliance, we ensure alignment with Qualified Allocation Plans (QAP), Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) programs, and other tax credit forms, providing dual-purpose reporting to streamline the process.
