Many communities facing dramatic losses of affordable market rate housing, increasing land costs, and rising costs of new construction are having to consider alternative strategies to keep their communities affordable to live. Shared equity models of housing, including community land trusts, housing cooperatives, and resident-owned manufactured housing, have emerged as a viable approach to stabilize communities from the pressures of displacement while producing new homeowners in the process.

Sponsored by NeighborWorks America, this webinar will explore multiple shared equity models and the potential that they offer for communities, particularly in underserved areas, to build wealth while maintaining neighborhood identity. Panelists will discuss how to develop successful shared equity programs, the financing tools available at the federal and state levels, the unique sense of autonomy they can provide for communities, and the overall benefits of shared equity programs that encourage equitable growth and maintain housing affordability.

Register today to join on Wednesday, March 2, from 2 to 3 p.m. ET!

The panel will include:

• Moderator: Kris Siglin, Vice President for Policy and Partnerships at the National Community Stabilization Trust

• Shanti Abedin, Director of Shared Equity Housing at NeighborWorks America

• Tony Pickett, CEO at Grounded Solutions Network

• Kaia Peterson, Executive Director at NeighborWorks Montana
