The hidden friction
Good housing projects can still stall for reasons that have little to do with the property.
Funding sources do not always align. Agency priorities and requirements shift. Public and private partners bring different incentives, timelines, and definitions of success. Coordination breaks down when everyone assumes someone else owns the next move.
Akhada helps clarify that operating landscape so viable housing initiatives can move forward.
