Opportune Companies was founded in 1996 by its principal Steve Bram and has 20 years of successful, high-quality, award winning, affordable housing development expertise.

We are unique in that we are a principal operated relationship company. We are personally involved and committed to maintaining a limited number of extraordinary, long term relationships. We refuse to be driven by overhead. We are integrally involved in every project and aspect to ensure excellent service and quality.

We believe that in our primarily tax credit driven business, our philosophy best serves you as projects must compete against each other for a very limited amount of tax credits. We do not put ourselves in a position where we compete against you and/or ourselves. A number of our competitors submit multiple projects with multiple cities and so several other "partners" lose.

We are also unique in that we are a turn key company with the integral expertise needed for all aspects of affordable housing development, including brokerage, acquisition, construction (we are a licensed general contractor), design, development, finance, management and asset management.

This enables us to integrally acquire, develop, construct, rehabilitate, manage and long term operate our projects in the fastest, most cost efficient and quality manner. We strive to provide further leveraging of your housing funds and subsidies which are crucial to help meet the ever growing and unmet demand for affordable housing. This turn key ability also facilitates design building and value engineering with better coordination and communication.

We have extensive experience in both rental and for-sale/ownership affordable housing with over 2,600 total affordable multi-family units completed, including both new development and construction and acquisition and rehabilitation units. Steve's total multi-family projects experience is almost 7,000 units.

Opportune Companies is the dba for many companies including Opportune Southern California Ventures, LLC, Opportune Housing, Inc., Opportune Management, LLC and Opportune Ventures, LLC.
