Impact Investments, Homelessness & Housing
The drivers of the U.S. housing crisis are many: a massive supply gap, high mortgage rates, home prices far outpacing income growth, rising construction costs, and more. While tackling this crisis is a top priority for many philanthropists, doing so will require billions, if not trillions, of dollars of investment—far beyond the capacity of grant dollars alone.
On June 11, we hosted a webinar with Rob Bachmann of Enterprise Community Investment, Inc, Paul Bradley of Integrity Community Solutions, and Coralie Pledger of the Austin Community Foundation to discuss how individuals and institutions can use impact-first investing to address the affordable housing crisis.
