Description

Developing enough new and rehabilitated housing units to meet the country’s affordability crisis demands participation by all housing developers. But deep disparities persist in who does and doesn’t have access to opportunities in multifamily housing development. 

Join the Urban Institute for a discussion on the challenges and opportunities for developers of color and the most effective ways to expand their contributions.

During this hybrid event, developers will share their experiences and firsthand insights about accessing capital, building networks, and navigating public and philanthropic programs. Leaders in finance and local government will explore strategies to overcome the barriers developers of color experience and create a more supportive environment.
