I chose to practice at Klein Hornig because of their commitment to the mission of affordable housing and community development. They gave me a home to pursue fair housing and civil rights law, important aspects of housing and development that often get overlooked.
Henry Korman counsels a variety of clients nationwide on matters involving affordable housing development, affordable housing preservation and supportive housing, with specialities focused on regulatory compliance such as fair housing and civil rights, relocation, admissions and occupancy, architectural access, and HUD environmental review. He’s often brought in on complex transactions and litigation involving racial justice, disability, and discrimination matters as well as matters involving Year 15 exits and low-income tax credits.
Henry has dedicated his 40+ year career to civil rights and fair housing, and access to affordable housing, ensuring that discrimination doesn’t play a role in housing decisions. Though heading toward retirement, Henry lends his extensive experience to complicated and high-stakes matters. He also works pro bono for racial justice organizations, providing remedies for people who have been discriminated against in housing.
I am inspired by those individuals who made it their lives work to pursue civil rights and housing justice, especially those people who may be lesser known but do (or did) the hard day to day work, like racial justice pioneers Betsy Julian, Florence Roisman, Phil Tegeler, and disability rights advocates Bonnie Milstein and Bill Henning.
