SUMMARY:Supporting Shared Equity & CLTs with SHIP
DESCRIPTION:Over the last few years\, the homeownership affordability gap has turned into an canyon with no bridge. As a result\, supporting the creation of a stock of permanently affordable homes is becoming a top priority for many local government staff. With uncertainty around future federal funding\, the flexibility of the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program offers a powerful opportunity to help build the capacity of Community Land Trusts (CLTs) and expand housing that remains affordable for generations. In this informative and practical webinar\, you’ll hear from experts and practitioners who are successfully using SHIP to support sustainable homeownership that will: \n\nExplore model Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) strategies that can support the creation of permanently affordable homeownership opportunities.\nHighlight ways SHIP funds can be used for purchase assistance\, rehabilitation of existing homes\, and construction of new units.\nExamine key program considerations—including legal instruments\, procurement requirements\, and compliance monitoring—to ensure lasting impact and accountability.\n\nJoin us to gain actionable insights to help your community create an approach to permanently close the homeownership affordability gap.

SUMMARY:Vouchers Without Vacancy: Fixing the  Gap in Affordable Housing
DESCRIPTION:While rental assistance vouchers are intended to help low-income families afford housing\, they are often rendered ineffective due to a lack of available\, affordable units in the housing market. This webinar will explore this growing challenge of housing choice vouchers that go unused and examine the disconnect between voucher availability and housing supply. The webinar will highlight innovative strategies communities are using to close this gap and discuss policy and program solutions that can help ensure vouchers truly provide access to stable\, affordable housing.
