As the country continues to face a severe shortage of affordable rental homes, developers, policymakers, and advocates continue to explore innovative strategies to expand the supply of affordable homes and contain the cost of affordable development costs. One promising approach is leveraging underutilized and vacant federally owned properties for affordable housing development.
Enterprise Community Partners and JPMorganChase are convening a Housing Policy Forum to bring together leading experts to examine strategies for repurposing federally owned property to increase housing supply and affordability. The discussion will explore policy opportunities, financing considerations, and on-the-ground case studies.
This event will be held virtually from 1:00-2:00 pm ET on Tuesday, June 9. The forum is open to the public.
Panelists:
Ahmad Abu-Khalaf, Senior Director, Policy Research, Enterprise Community Partners
Danielle Arigoni, Vice President, Housing Supply, Enterprise Community Partners (Moderator)
Arthur Gailes, Research Fellow, the American Enterprise Institute
Aaron Shroyer, Nonresident Senior Fellow, Brookings Metro
