Our services

Everything Castor does.

Seven service areas across management, compliance, inspections and public agency contracting. Most clients start with one and end up needing three.

Compliance, operations and physical condition are not three separate problems on an affordable housing site. They are the same problem seen from three angles, and a finding in one almost always started in another. That is why the services below are built to work together rather than to be bought separately.

Core services

Running and protecting the asset.

Property Management

HUD Operators and Managers for sixteen years, across every HUD program, LIHTC and RAD conversions, with Previous Participation history throughout all HUD regions.

  • Full-service HUD and LIHTC management
  • RAD conversion and post-conversion operation
  • Contract Administrator coordination
  • Tailored to the property, not a template

Compliance Monitoring

Certifications, HUD systems, MOR preparation and appeals, rent actions, LIHTC and fair housing. Every regulation, every property type, every client type.

  • Certification and occupancy
  • TRACS, EIV and Secure Systems
  • MOR prep, shadowing and appeals
  • LIHTC and multi-layered monitoring

NSPIRE

Inspections before the inspection date, repairs before and after, shadowing on the day and portal data entry — including the Affirmative Requirements that begin scoring on October 1, 2026.

  • Pre-inspection walks and correction tracking
  • Repairs before and after inspection
  • Shadowing and appeals
  • HCV NSPIRE for public agencies

Advisory & contracting

The work around the work.

Compliance is not the only thing standing between an agency and a contract, or between an owner and a functioning back office.

PHA Consulting & RAD

Advisory for public housing authorities — HCV inspection programs, RAD conversion support, procurement readiness and the operational shift that follows a conversion.

SAM.gov & NYC PASSPort

Federal SAM.gov registration and renewal, and New York City PASSPort vendor enrollment — the registrations that quietly block work when they lapse.

MWBE & Section 3

Utilization plans, subcontractor tracking, hiring and reporting that satisfy Section 3 and MWBE obligations with evidence rather than good intentions.

Organizational IT

Property management software migrations, systems integration, and purpose-built internal tools — increasingly built with AI, for the trackers and reports every operator ends up needing.

Inside compliance monitoring

Grouped by the part of the operation it touches.

The compliance program is the deepest of the seven. This is its shape — the full detail sits on the compliance page.

Who we work with

Private ownership and public agencies.

Private owners & agents

Owners and management agents running HUD-assisted, tax credit and multi-layered portfolios who need compliance handled properly rather than patched after the finding.

Public Housing Authorities

PHAs needing project-based support, RAD conversion help and Housing Choice Voucher NSPIRE inspections with a reporting procedure built for agency use.

Contract Administrators

Our co-founders work with multiple Contract Administrators across the HUD regions, so submissions land in the format each one expects.
