RAPOZA ASSOCIATES is a public interest lobbying and government relations firm located in Washington, D.C., that specializes in providing comprehensive legislative and support services to community development organizations, associations, and public agencies. The firm’s clients are involved in a wide range of community economic development, rural development, low-income housing, education, workforce, finance, and community transportation issues. Founded in 1984, Rapoza Associates is widely recognized for its innovative and effective lobbying work. Our staff assists clients in making their voices heard in the policymaking arena and in navigating the complex federal budget and appropriations process. Our key role in developing the New Markets Tax Credit and guiding the program through Congress is a hallmark of the firm’s capabilities. In addition to government relations work we also provide an array of support services for non-profit community development organizations and associations. We help clients manage their membership data and activities, develop federal funding proposals and research issues that impact their constituents. We’re unusual among Washington lobbyists in bringing to our work extensive hands-on experience with the programs and clients we represent. Staff members have been directly involved in community development work such as providing affordable housing and managing community-based organizations. When we argue the merits of community development on Capitol Hill, we’re not just talking the talk.
