Compass was formed in 1997 by its current principals, Charlie Wilkins and Anker Heegaard. Compass has always been a small business in which the key principals provide direct advisory services to our clients. Over more than a decade, our primary clients have been state and local governments, federal agencies, and non-profit foundations and intermediaries. Compass’ core competencies are affordable housing finance, asset management, and public policy. We have specialized expertise in the design of funding mechanisms, Green building issues, multifamily data, federal housing programs and their regulatory requirements, and disaster recovery issues. We bring a unique perspective: a balanced understanding of financial, operational and public policy considerations that drive affordable housing, and of the ways they interact.
