Description
For the 6.5 million Americans experiencing housing insecurity, the need for sustainable solutions to affordable homeownership are more crucial than ever.
Chris Tyson, President of the NCST, will discuss the strategies we need to prioritize in the coming years to increase affordable homeownership opportunities nationwide. Tyson will highlight the pivotal roles of property revitalization, policy reform, and national collaborations in building long-term, bipartisan solutions.
Specifically, he will cover topics such as: solving the supply side of the housing crisis; addressing institutional investment in single-family homes; the “housing aftermarket” and how we can optimize distressed and defaulted property sales to increase affordable single family supply; advocating for policies to increase affordable homeownership opportunities; and how CDFIs and nonprofits are crucial for maintaining housing affordability.
