Let us make it easy for you. Let’s get started today.
At D3G, we’ve spent more than a decade guiding PHAs through
successful RAD conversions, helping them maximize project benefits while aligning outcomes with long-term agency goals and capacity.
RAD conversions aren’t one-size-fits-all. Every project must be tailored to the property’s condition, its revenue potential, and the PHA’s administrative goals, among other factors. And even with strong planning, RAD isn’t always linear. Priorities shift. Policies evolve. Site conditions change. Plans must adapt.
With more than a decade of RAD expertise and dozens of successful conversions, D3G is a trusted partner to PHAs and developers nationwide. We guide each conversion from concept to completion:
Most importantly, we keep each PHA’s capacity, mission, and vision at the center of the process – helping you move your RAD conversion forward with confidence and clarity.
Provide clear evaluation of repositioning options through financial and rent analysis.
Develop a comprehensive repositioning approach aligned with PHA goals, program requirements, and long‑term property viability.
Manage the full RAD application process, conversion milestones, and required submissions from planning through closing.
Ensure conversions progress smoothly through consistent tracking, documentation, and compliance management.
Align key policies, plans, and implementation readiness with RAD program requirements.
Support key technical requirements tied to approvals, timelines, and compliance.
The strength of our RAD consulting work starts with our people. Our team brings deep experience based in PHA and HUD leadership, property management, and related fields. This well-rounded expertise equips us to guide PHAs and their partners through every stage of a RAD conversion and its many moving parts.

From environmental reviews and capital needs assessments to LIHTC and financing commitments, a successful repositioning depends on the timely coordination of all key partners. D3G ensures that every necessary stakeholder is engaged at the right point in the timeline, helping to prevent process delays or the expiration of required reports.
Most conversions take between 1-2.5 years, but the timeline varies depending on portfolio size, financing complexity, and HUD review cycles. Partnering with a knowledgeable RAD consultant, like D3G, helps streamline submissions and minimize delays.
Yes. Blended conversions – often called RAD/Section 18 Blends or RAD/SAC Blends – allow a percentage of units at a property to receive rental subsidy at the typically higher Section 18 rent levels.
The percentage of units eligible to receive Section 18 subsidy is based on factors such as the PHA’s size, redevelopment plans or the property’s expected rehabilitation needs. These blended conversions generally follow the standard RAD process, but do include a few additional requirements.
Absolutely. D3G supports PHAs throughout the RAD process, from initial project planning project through to closing, including Concept Call, Financing Plan, FHEO review, and everything else that lies in between. We can even help PHAs find the right co-development partner.
If your PHA is considering repositioning, blending with Section 18, or preparing a RAD application, now is the time to engage experienced guidance.
