While affordable housing remains a pressing issue, government-subsidized solutions alone cannot meet the growing demand. To truly address the housing shortage, it is essential to engage market-driven approaches that promote the development of non-subsidized, below-market-rate housing.
In this insightful session, based on real-world projects, we will explore the fundamentals of developing “electively affordable” housing—projects that meet affordability goals without relying on government subsidies. Our expert presenters will share their experiences and practical strategies to demonstrate how, under the right market conditions, these developments can succeed and remain financially viable.
You’ll gain key takeaways on:
- Identifying environmental conditions that support below-market-rate developments.
- Crafting effective financial models and project structures.
- Navigating potential barriers in land use, zoning, and market dynamics.
- Strategies to make such projects "pencil" without external financial support.
Whether you are already considering development in this space or are curious about the feasibility of non-subsidized affordable housing, this session will provide the practical insights and inspiration needed to explore this emerging opportunity.
