Session Description:
Thousands of affordable rental properties in rural communities are in danger of being lost to disrepair or market forces in the next decade. This free Connecting Communities® webinar will explore strategies that are being implemented to try and preserve them, with a focus on recently released data and tools that can help community organizations and their partners better understand the current landscape of rural affordable rental housing.
Join us on May 4 to hear presenters from PolicyMap and USDA Rural Housing Service describe the tools and data their organizations have developed or are hosting. You’ll also hear a practitioner’s perspective, as the leader of Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership discusses how his organization is using those tools and resources to identify at-risk properties and assess preservation strategies.
Presenters include:
- Elizabeth Nash, Vice President of Data and Product Development, PolicyMap
- Bryan Hooper, Deputy Administrator for Multifamily Housing, USDA Rural Housing Service
- Rick Goodemann, Chief Executive Officer, Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership
