Ricardo Gilmore, co-presenter at HDLI 2013 Fall CLE Conference

Rgilmore2-cropped-sRicardo L. Gilmore, senior partner and co-founder of Saxon, Gilmore, Carraway & Gibbons, P.A. was a co-presenter at the Housing and Development Law Institute’s (HDLI) 2013 Fall CLE Conference in Cleveland, Ohio. The event was held on October 25, 2013.

Mr. Gilmore co-presented a session entitled “Exploring Executive Director Compensation – within the framework of state and federal standards”. Participants engaged in a frank discussion on the new nationwide rules and restrictions concerning public housing executive director compensation.

The National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) 2013 National Conference & Exhibition ran concurrently with the HDLI conference. Mr. Gilmore not only shared his expertise with fellow housing authority practitioners, but took advantage of both organizations’ networking and training opportunities.

The NAHRO conference provided an opportunity for housing and community development policy-makers and practitioners to learn how public, private, and nonprofit groups are overcoming the barriers caused by reduced federal funding.

The NAHRO conference included seminars such as Ethics for the Housing and Community Development Commissioner, Managing Public Housing Funding, Affordable Care Act, Safety and Security, Renewable Energy Products, and Community Collaborations to End Chronic Homelessness.

Mr. Gilmore serves as special counsel to housing authorities in Florida and other states relative to affordable housing development matters, which involve a multiplicity of legal issues unique to housing authorities as well as applicable to governmental agencies and/or corporate entities. He has developed a specialty in public housing law and has been involved in two extensive litigation matters appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court that established nationwide precedents.

Mr. Gilmore has also been involved in the establishment and operation of instrumentalities and affiliates associated with development and fundraising for housing authorities. He has considerable experience in Florida Government-in-the-Sunshine laws, public records laws, real estate redevelopment, and corporate governance issues affecting commissioners of housing authorities, as well as public finance relative to issuance of municipal bonds and acquisition of tax credits.
