SUMMARY:Heirs’ Property
DESCRIPTION:The prevalence of heirs’ property as a housing equity issue has been a key issue on policymakers’ radar in recent years. Heirs’ property\, a term used to describe property that is passed via inheritance from an owner(s) to next of kin without clear ownership\, can be difficult to sell\, repair\, or improve\, and leads to challenges relating to property ownership and generational wealth. Because of inherent problems of heirs’ title\, identifying\, preventing\, and remediating heirs’ property is key to improving low-income neighborhoods and generational wealth building in Florida. This webinar is focused on how the housing ecosystem can address heirs’ property issues from various entry points and will feature legal aid attorneys and housing professionals to explore how communities can help ameliorate heirs’ property issues.

SUMMARY:Scoring Live Local: An Early Look at the Suitability of Sites Using the LLA's Land Use Mandate
DESCRIPTION:Scoring Live Local – An Early Look at the Suitability of Sites Using the LLA’s Land Use Mandate\nDescription: \nThe Live Local Act introduced a land use mandate permitting affordable housing developments meeting certain conditions on land zoned for commercial\, industrial\, and mixed use. The Act raised questions on the location of projects taking advantage of this mandate – would the override of local land use controls allowing these developments in non-residential areas promote projects in places less suitable for homes? Or would other parameters and forces guiding development still steer projects to suitable areas? The Florida Housing Coalition undertook a locational scoring analysis to better understand these questions now that this mandate is two years old. \nThis webinar will explore FHC’s process and takeaways when scoring 92 proposed Live Local sites for housing suitability. The Coalition analyzed proximity of these projects to a set of amenities (parks\, schools\, grocery stores\, and more) and distance from land uses typically requiring buffers from residential development (industrial uses and other land uses that might create negative impacts on nearby housing). Tune in to hear us release this information as we continue to analyze the effectiveness of the Live Local Act.

SUMMARY:Credit Underwriting and Development of Homeownership Projects
DESCRIPTION:With rising construction costs and skyrocketing property insurance costs\, developing affordable for sale homes is difficult. Before the land is conveyed\, the feasibility of a development must be underwritten. The presenters will outline the process a credit underwriter uses to assess the financial feasibility of an affordable homeownership project. Participants will consider the calculations involved with answering questions like:  What is the maximum price the home can be sold for? Does the sales price support the cost of developing the home? How much Downpayment Assistance is needed for the homes sold to the lower AMIs? How does a community land trust affect the project financially?
