This entry in the Getting Serious About Housing Supply series explores new approaches to preserving affordable housing for rent and sale.

With the U.S. suffering from an acute shortage of affordable homes, the preservation of the existing affordable housing stock is more critical than ever before. Even when combined with repairs and rehabilitation, preserving a home that is affordable to a low- or moderate-income household is generally less expensive and more cost-effective than new construction. It also prevents the displacement of households that otherwise would be forced to relocate. This webinar, the eighth in our Getting Serious About Housing Supply series, will explore new ideas and approaches to the preservation of affordable housing both for rent and sale.
