Targeted to affordable housing practitioners, financial institutions, foundations, and local and state policymakers, this forum will provide an overview of how shared equity models, and community land trusts in particular, can preserve long-term affordable homeownership and stabilize neighborhoods impacted by foreclosure.


Speakers:

• Ryan Sherriff, from the Center for Housing Policy in Washington D.C., will open the forum with a review of the basics on establishing community land trusts.

• John Davis, a partner with Burlington Associates in Community Development, and Emily Thaden, a shared equity development specialist with The Housing Fund, will describe how community land trust structures vary in different kinds of real estate markets.

• Sue Henderson, associate general counsel for real estate and finance with Habitat International, will facilitate a working lunch discussion with three organizations operating community land trusts in Virginia, North Carolina and the District of Columbia. The discussion will focus on how they have helped provide affordable housing and neighborhood stabilization in their own communities.
