Client Testimonials

“Jason's contribution to our HPD RFP was exceptional. He expertly served as the central point of contact for three partners, three design professionals, and our design coordinator, navigating a highly complex and coordinated submission with a pitch-perfect demeanor. Jason's written narratives were fantastic and distinguished by their authentic originality, and his financial models were both insightful and meticulously prepared. His proactive leadership in driving the project forward was deeply appreciated and significantly strengthened our entire development team's submission efforts.”

“I have had the great pleasure of working with J. Rust Consulting for nearly 2 years. Jason is dedicated, organized, extremely knowledgeable and personable, kind, good humored, responsive, creative, and helpful. He frequently leverages his networks on behalf of his clients. He is always additive, whether we are speaking with our architects, lawyers, or HPD staffers. At times, I feel as if I would be lost without him!”

“My team has benefited greatly from J. Rust Consulting's help applying to RFPs, restructuring our organization's asset management functions, and by receiving well-structured trainings on various housing topics. Jason Rust is a trustworthy, conscientious, and creative underwriter and project manager.  His professionalism and critical thinking skills make him a valuable asset for any team.”

"Without J. Rust Consulting we would not have been able to create our groundbreaking housing report that showed the real need for affordable housing for older adults in New York City.  He has both the institutional and content knowledge needed to decode the sometimes arcane New York City housing landscape and is incredibly sharp and analytical. He not only helped us get valuable data but he was also instrumental in creating the insights that made our report resonate at the city, state, and federal level. We cannot recommend his work highly enough”
