With a background working with tenants and individuals experiencing homelessness and housing instability, I have seen firsthand the critical role that housing plays in helping communities and individuals thrive. I appreciate the creativity our clients bring to the creation of housing and revitalization of communities and count it as a privilege to represent them in bringing their projects to fruition.

Robert (Rob) Liscord focuses his practice on a wide range of affordable housing and community development finance transactions. He specializes in navigating complex state and federal housing financing programs, including Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit, the Section 8 program, the USDA Section 515 Rural Development program, and other programs administered by HUD and USDA.

Rob represents developers, non-profits, and public housing authorities on all matters impacting affordable housing and community development projects, including negotiating acquisition and sale, structuring financing, and advising on program compliance, leasing, and occupancy. His background and experience include extensive work helping clients navigate projects financed or regulated by Maine State Housing Authority and assisting housing authorities to revitalize aging public housing to ensure it remains a safe and affordable for residents.

Rob values partnering with clients from a project’s earliest planning stages and structuring through construction, completion, and final occupancy.

Outside of work, I love being active - whether I’m hiking, running, or biking. I also enjoy unwinding in the kitchen, cooking delicious meals to share with family and friends.
