EJP Consulting Group

What EJP Consulting Group does

EJP Consulting Group, LLC is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Washington, D.C., specializing in urban planning, community development, and housing redevelopment consulting. Founded in 2007, the firm serves public housing authorities, municipal governments, foundations, and not-for-profit clients across 43 states and Washington D.C., with a cumulative base of 193 clients. EJP offers eight integrated service lines: Choice Neighborhoods planning and implementation support, Portfolio Repositioning (RAD/Section 18 conversions), Development and Program Management, Master Planning, Strategic Planning, Human Capital, Relocation, and Operations & Training. The firm has secured $550M+ in Choice Funds for clients, manages $4.3B+ in redeveloped assets, and holds a 17-for-17 success rate on Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant Applications.

The firm's business model is project-based professional services, with pricing structured around individual client engagements and federal grant cycles rather than recurring subscriptions. Delivery relies on a small core team of approximately 1-10 employees augmented by an established ecosystem of strategic partners including master developers (Columbia Residential, McCormack Baron Salazar, POAH), financial partners (Truist Bank, Citizens Bank, National Affordable Housing Trust), and design firms (Smith Gee Studio, Chattanooga Design Studio, Lord Aeck Sargent). This high-leverage model allows EJP to coordinate large-scale, multi-year HUD-funded redevelopment projects without maintaining the full delivery bench internally.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the firm has no external funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors, operating as an independently held LLC. The technology stack is conventional business infrastructure; EJP does not develop proprietary software, has no public API or platform, and delivers its value through senior practitioner expertise in HUD program mechanics, stakeholder engagement, and grant strategy. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales to government procurement officials, with awareness built through project press, the company website, and LinkedIn presence.

• The NRP Group: National multifamily developer with significant affordable and mixed-income housing practice that collaborates with housing authorities on Choice Neighborhoods-style redevelopments — an emerging peer with overlapping client relationships.

Others

• McCormack Baron Salazar: National urban redevelopment firm that both develops and advises on mixed-income housing and Choice Neighborhoods projects — an EJP partner on Baltimore's PSO Transformation and a competitor in the redevelopment advisory space.
• Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH): Nonprofit affordable housing owner and developer that also provides predevelopment and planning advisory services to housing authorities — a direct peer in the affordable housing redevelopment advisory market.
• BAE Urban Economics: Specialized urban economics and real estate advisory firm serving public agencies, developers, and community organizations on housing policy, portfolio analysis, and revitalization strategy — a comparable specialist consulting peer.
