Lenzy Hayes Inc. was founded by Lenzy Hayes in 1952 with several single family residential rentals, mobile homes, commercial convenience stores, and initial multi-family conventional housing. In 1974, Lenzy Hayes Inc. developed and managed HUD senior housing programs.

In 2002, Carson Hayes and Dr. Gordon Gibson founded Hayes-Gibson International, Inc. to further develop and manage affordable housing communities through HUD, Rural Development, Federal Home Loan Bank, and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit programs. Much of the development has been with not-for-profit organizations addressing the housing needs of special populations of elderly, physically disabled, individuals with mental health and developmental disabilities, and low-income families at risk. This expertise has expanded into the management and consulting of Market-Rate and Condominium housing types and currently totals approximately 12,000 units with services provided in 16 states.
