Patrick R. Sabelhaus was a dedicated legal practitioner based in the Sacramento area, specializing in state and federal low-income housing tax credit law, tax-exempt bond financing, real property law, and syndication. The priority for the Patrick R. Sabelhaus Fund is to provide scholarships so that residents who live in affordable housing communities can improve their lives by attending an accredited university, vocational, or trade school. LifeSTEPS will allocate 100% of the funds (0% to administration) directly to the selected colleges, vocational and trade schools.
