Joel joined us in May, 2017, as our director of real estate development.  He comes to us after almost 40 years as a real estate attorney, the last 20 of which were with the firm he helped found, Hackett Feinberg PC.  In his law practice, Joel focused on work for community development corporations and non-profit organizations, as well as Massachusetts state agencies and institutional lenders, in community development and affordable housing transactions. He was often involved in multi-party transactions involving layers of public and private debt and equity and the use of governmental programs and tax incentives.
