		<description><![CDATA[“Underwriting benchmarks, guarantor requirements, partner appetites, and pricing are constantly changing,” says the vice president of finance for the Miami-based developer of affordable housing. “Recent tightening of conventional banks’ regulations and internal underwriting standards have made borrowing from them expensive and practically infeasible.
