Description
There is a huge need and opportunity for impact investors and asset owners to shift their attention and capital towards affordable housing. But does the commodification of housing stand in the way? In addition to a basic need and human right, having safe, stable, and affordable housing is also inextricably linked to various social determinants of health, such as employment, mental health and wellbeing, and social inclusion.
This workshop dives into major developments in the housing finance landscape, including how organizations use mixed funding models and community land trusts to finance affordable housing and how to get involved.
