In addition to having a focused and experienced in-house staff, the Planning Office for Urban Affairs regularly employs expert outside consultants to assist with its project financing and development work. The targeted use of consultants is an important part of POUA's business model and strategic operations, as we retain skilled professional consultants to provide value-added services that extend the capacity of the organization. To that end, we are very grateful for the help and expertise of Development Synergies LLC; Rasky Baerlein Strategic Communications, Inc.; Karen Gray; Nina Schwartzchild; Kevin Leary; Cecil Andrews; Frank Davis; Gagnier Hicks Associates LLC and Sharon Lowenthal who have consulted on a variety of POUA projects.
