AH226vc Creative Project Financing Strategies for Affordable Housing


Assembling financing is one of the most exciting, creative and challenging aspects of real estate development; most development projects require assembling funds from numerous sources. This intermediate-level course provides participants with the knowledge to strategically combine private loans, public capital funds, various kinds of equity investments, and ongoing subsidies for strong, sustainable projects. Participants will also learn how to evaluate whether resources are appropriate for a specific project. You'll learn the financing issues facing major kinds of projects in today’s financial markets: rental housing, homeownership, cooperatives, and nonresidential properties such as community facilities, offices, or retail. The impact of current market dynamics – investors’ loss of confidence, and increasingly strict bank financing requirements – will also be addressed.

This faculty-led course includes self-paced online assignments, the use of peer discussion forums and live web conferencing. The course is presented in three weekly lessons. Participants should expect to spend approximately four hours per week on course related reading and assignments.
