SUMMARY:Innovation in Homeownership Opportunities for Low- and Moderate-Income Communities
DESCRIPTION:Lack of access to homeownership options is a barrier to participation in the economy for low- and moderate-income communities. While homeownership is the primary form of wealth accumulation in the U.S.\, it is increasingly unattainable for low- and moderate-income populations\, particularly in job-rich metro areas.  \n\n\n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, March 25th as we dig deeper into the landscape of homeownership types beyond single-family\, and the challenges and opportunities that come with financing and developing  them.   \n\n\n\nDrawing on a new SF Fed report quantifying more affordable homeownership types—such as condos\, co-ops\, community land trusts (CLTs)\, duplexes\, and homes with accessory dwelling units (ADUs)—this session will include research findings and a panel of speakers from organizations that are innovating around financing and development models for different types of homeownership. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation
