This Womenโ€™s History Month, we proudly celebrate Kelly Longwell โ€” founding member of Longwell Riess, L.L.C. and a nationally recognized leader in affordable housing and community development law.

For more than two decades, Kelly has helped shape communities through complex public-private partnerships, tax credit financing, and mission-driven development. But her impact extends far beyond transactions.

As a certified women-owned firm, Longwell Riess stands as a reflection of leadership, excellence, and quiet courage โ€” the kind that opens doors for others simply by walking through them first.

Kelly shared this reflection: โ€œ๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜“๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜™๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด, ๐˜ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ-๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ โ€” ๐˜ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ. ๐˜โ€™๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ป๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ง ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ญ. ๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฎ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ด, ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ด ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ด ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ.โ€

Celebrating Womenโ€™s History Month ๐ŸŒŸ

At Longwell Riess, L.L.C., Womenโ€™s History Month holds special meaning. As a certified women-owned law firm, we are proud to stand on the shoulders of the women who paved the way in law, finance, housing, and community development โ€” and equally proud to be building pathways for those who follow.

Our firm was founded on the belief that excellence, leadership, and impact are strengthened by diverse voices at the table. Every day, we work alongside developers, housing authorities, investors, and community partners to create equitable, lasting change โ€” proving that women-led businesses are not only powerful, but transformational.

This month, we celebrate the trailblazers who opened doors, the leaders who continue to break barriers, and the next generation of women shaping the future of affordable housing and community development.

Hereโ€™s to progress. Hereโ€™s to partnership. Hereโ€™s to women who lead with purpose.
