Construction and Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plans. I worked very closely
with a senior member of the EAH development team in the acquisition and
rehabilitation of a 361 unit, 16 acre community. This complex project took
three years and required the de-licensing of a 98-unit RCFE. This process
resulted in the elimination of 400k in expenses out of an annual budget of
900k making the acquisition economically feasible. Once acquired, the
