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.

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:Missing Middle Housing Policy
DESCRIPTION:Properly structured land use policies\, development regulations\, and additional programs are key to support development of “missing middle” housing\, small-scale development projects typically with fifty units or fewer serving households priced out of the single-family home market. This webinar will cover the range of housing policies that can facilitate greater production of missing middle housing. Topics discussed will include regulatory barriers to missing middle housing\, designing local land use strategies to unlock small scale development\, and structuring local funding strategies to unlock small unit development. This webinar will feature local policymakers and small-scale developers who have successfully implemented missing middle housing efforts.

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:WORKSHOP:  The Affordable Housing Development Process
DESCRIPTION:LOCATION: Holden Heights Community Center\n1201 20th Street\, Orlando\, FL 32805 \nThis workshop is designed to introduce the underwriting process that takes place after a funding award has been approved.  The invitation to credit underwriting is a vital first step to prepare for before applying for financing.  It is a complex and critical part of financial agreements that will govern the short- and long-term process of the development’s feasibility.  The presenters will help de-mystify the underwriting process and provide guidance that begins in the predevelopment phase and continues throughout the closing process.  Participants will receive step by step instruction about third-party analyses and the documentation that will be required throughout the underwriting process. The training will include information from a FHFC Credit Underwriting service provider and will address timeframes and sequencing.  This training is provided for newly formed and experienced nonprofit housing developers and local government housing staff who are responsible for in-house underwriting of SHIP\, HOME\, or other publicly available assistance. \nWho Should Attend? \n\nNonprofit developers\nDevelopers working with cities and counties\nHousing program administrators and community partners interested in affordable housing development\n\nKey Topics: \n\nExploring the Credit Underwriting Checklist\nUnderstand the three components of successful Credit Underwriting: the project readiness\, the financial feasibility of the deal\, and the developer capacity\nIn-house credit underwriting: skillsets required and minimum threshold
