NEW YORK, April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunt Capital Partners, the tax credit syndication division of Hunt Companies, Inc., announced today it will co-host the Novogradac 2019 Investing In Puerto Rico Conference. The event is May 9-10 at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino in San Juan.

The agenda includes diverse topics for community development investors and others. Sessions planned are:

• Investment and lending outlook for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands
• Best practices for Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery funds
• Other key subsidy programs to help development in Puerto Rico

"Puerto Rico has had a rough couple of years with devastating storms and economic downturns impacting the region and the overall housing market," noted Jeff Weiss, President of Hunt Capital Partners. "This conference offers investors a terrific two-day opportunity to learn how to make a significant impact in restoring affordable housing locally."

Hunt Capital Partners recently collaborated with McCormack Baron Salazar, the Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority, and Citibank to raise more than $50 million in tax credit equity for a pair of San Juan developments known as Renaissance Square and Bayshore Villas. Completed in February 2019, the 140-unit Renaissance Square was the first development under the Puerto Rico Comprehensive Housing Plan and the island's first mixed-income development. Bayshore Villas features 174 units and an estimated completion date in Summer 2019.
