At House Strategies Group, we believe that the strongest institutions are often built from the ground up — anchored by values, strengthened by experience, and propelled by purpose. Ours is a family business in the truest sense: rooted in decades of government service, financial leadership, and civic commitment.
A Founding Story of Opportunity and Obligation
Our founding story is one of both opportunity and obligation. House Strategies Group began with a conversation between father and son about what it means to serve — not just to earn. With deep roots in federal consulting, international diplomacy, and financial services, we saw a path forward: to combine the wisdom of experience with the agility of entrepreneurship to offer the government something more than just technical expertise — we want to offer intention, integrity, and impact.
Why We Do This Work
We are not new to the federal ecosystem. Over the years, members of our team have helped stand up the modern iteration of HUD's Office of Asset Sales, supported Ginnie Mae's Capital Markets operations, evaluated business processes for HUD's Housing Counseling program, and advised USDA Rural Development leadership on strategic modernization efforts.
When we helped Ginnie Mae launch its inaugural ESG strategy, it wasn't just about compliance or optics — it was about helping a critical housing finance institution realign with its social mission.
The most meaningful government work doesn't always come from the largest players. Sometimes it comes from small firms who understand the mission — and care deeply about getting it right.
A Pivotal Moment: The 8(a) Program
The 8(a) program represents more than a contracting vehicle to us — it's a platform for impact. It offers mentorship opportunities, streamlined access to government agencies, and the ability to build meaningful partnerships with federal offices that want to do business with values-driven small businesses like ours.
Strategic Areas of Focus
Mortgage Finance and Asset Disposition: Building on our work with HUD's Office of Asset Sales, Ginnie Mae, and FHA, we support distressed asset resolution, compliance analytics, and investor engagement strategies.
Program Management and Strategic Operations: From our advisory work at APHIS to broader support for USDA, we help federal programs clarify their objectives, streamline their internal operations, and structure programs for long-term success.
Financial Insights and Data Analytics: We've supported engagements requiring analysis of complex securities, risk scenarios, and performance data — especially at Ginnie Mae and FHA.
Equity, Policy, and ESG Integration: Whether through climate-oriented housing finance strategy or inclusive program design, we help agencies embed mission-aligned values in everything from procurement to performance metrics.
The Road Ahead
As we reflect on our beginnings and look ahead, one thing is clear: we want to do more than grow — we want to matter. That means choosing our projects deliberately, supporting clients passionately, and holding ourselves accountable to the mission-driven standards that called us into this space in the first place.
House Strategies Group is more than a company; it is a commitment. A commitment to our family. A commitment to our clients. And most importantly, a commitment to the public good.
