SUMMARY:What Does a Good Housing “Impact Investment” Look Like?
DESCRIPTION:Impact investing has become a popular term in housing and community development—but what does it actually mean? More importantly\, what does effective impact investing look like when the goal is creating and preserving affordable housing? \n\n\n\nJoin Shelterforce on July 15 for a conversation with community lenders\, affordable housing practitioners\, and investigative reporter Shelby King as we explore where impact investing succeeds\, where it falls short\, and what needs to change. \n\n\n\nPanelists include: \n\n\n\nBetty Francisco is CEO of Boston Impact Initiative\, a place-based impact fund and CDFI that invests in businesses and real estate to build community ownership and worker power. \n\n\n\nKate Khatib\, based in Baltimore\, is co-executive director of Seed Commons\, a cooperatively governed national CDFI loan fund that shifts economic power to workers and communities through community-based\, non-extractive financial infrastructure. \n\n\n\nShelby King\, based in Colorado near Denver\, is Shelterforce’s investigative reporter\, and has been writing about housing and community development since 2014. \n\n\n\nMeridith Levy is executive director of Boston Neighborhood Community Land Trust\, with a mission of stewarding permanently affordable\, community-controlled housing. \n\n\n\nDavid Lidz is asset manager at Rising Housing\, which uses a worker co-op (called Waterbottle Co-op) to rehabilitate affordable housing in West Baltimore. \n\n\n\nModerating this webinar is Shelterforce strategic initiatives editor Steve Dubb. Steve has been a student\, practitioner\, writer\, and editor in the field of housing and community economic development for over 25 years.
