 Legislation and Policy
 Regulatory Issues
Management Reform and Receiverships
Once legislation is enacted, Reno & Cavanaugh helps to shape how the law works in practice, by participating vigorously in the administrative law process and by assisting its clients with program and policy implementation and reform. Reno & Cavanaugh regularly deals with implementation issues surrounding HUD, IRS, HHS, and DOT regulations and advocates for regulatory changes. Our firm also assists clients through audits by the HUD Office of Inspector General (OIG) concerning procurement, use of federal funds, agency affiliates, and other matters reviewed by OIG or by HUD's Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC). Some representative examples of the firm’s regulatory work are: | | Legislative Affairs Committee Housing Authority Insurance Group Reno & Cavanaugh assisted this client in creating a Legislative Affairs Committee, which will enable it to participate more directly in public awareness and advocacy campaigns, and to more broadly influence issues affecting low-income housing. |
