2025- Ricardo Gilmore, shareholder and co-founder of Saxon|Gilmore, was a guest speaker at the Florida Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (FAHRO) 2025 Annual Conference. He discussed legal issues facing housing authorities and their not-for-profit organizations on the federal, state, and local levels. The session was designed to explore ways to address and/or minimize these issues.
Established nearly 70 years ago, FAHRO was founded to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information aimed at improving low-income and affordable housing, as well as enhancing community services.
Since then, the organization has remained steadfast in its mission to support professional development in public, assisted, and other affordable housing throughout the State of Florida. FAHRO fosters a robust network that promotes communication, education, and advocacy—supporting legislation that advances housing solutions and economic opportunity.
