About Cornerstone Advisory Group
Cornerstone Advisory Group is dedicated to preserving affordable housing for future generations. We work with property owners to optimize their HUD Section 8 contracts and maximize Gross Potential Rent (GPR), providing the financial foundation needed to maintain and improve aging affordable housing stock. With deep expertise in Mark Up to Market contracts, we help owners secure the resources needed to keep their buildings operational, properly maintained, and available to the communities that depend on them.
Many of the affordable housing properties we serve are 50+ years old and face significant capital needs for critical systems, building envelope repairs, and accessibility improvements. The rent increases we facilitate aren't just about returns—they're about securing the funding necessary for recapitalization, enabling properties to continue operating for decades to come. Our work helps owners fund essential rehabilitation, strengthen their financial position for future LIHTC applications, and most importantly, preserve affordable housing units that might otherwise be lost to deterioration or conversion.
