I take pride in serving those who need it most in our communities, approaching challenges from the ground up. By finding innovative solutions, I strive to bring affordable housing and meaningful community development to areas where these resources can be scarce. We as a civilization are only as strong as the weakest among us, which is why I have devoted my life to public service and the building of just cities by ensuring that everyone has access to the basic housing and strong communities that will allow them to flourish.
Billy Lyman advises developers, nonprofit organizations, and public housing authorities in a variety of affordable housing and community development projects nationwide.
Focusing on housing projects financed with low-income housing tax credits, tax-exempt bonds, and a range of other state and federal funding sources, clients appreciate Billy’s calm and focused demeanor, especially during the most challenging closings. His ability to remain composed under pressure instills confidence and ensures smooth transactions from start to finish.
In pursuing a joint degree in law and urban planning at the University of Illinois, Billy immersed himself in the intersection of these two critically important fields, concentrating in affordable housing and community development for social justice, and discovering how the tools of each could be combined to reinforce neighborhoods and make cities work for all citizens.
