SUMMARY:Retooling Redevelopment Authorities to Create Social Housing
DESCRIPTION:Retooling Redevelopment Authorities to Create Social Housing in Massachusetts \nCosponsored by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies\, Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston\, Cambridge Redevelopment Authority\, and the Cambridge Community Foundation. \nThis is a hybrid event. Please select in person or livestream attendance during ticket selection. \nRedevelopment authorities were created in the mid-20th century to carry out urban renewal projects\, made possible through federal and state programs. Although these programs ended or were scaled back due to often controversial projects\, in Massachusetts redevelopment authorities still exist and retain significant powers\, including eminent domain. This has led housing advocates and policymakers to explore whether redevelopment authorities might be uniquely positioned to help cities and towns promote new social housing—mixed-income developments in which the public sector holds a lasting ownership stake. \nSusanne Schindler and Becca Heilman will present the findings of a new Joint Center for Housing Studies report\, which examines how redevelopment authorities in Massachusetts might support social housing. The research for the report was funded by the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority\, the Cambridge Community Foundation\, and the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston\, which examines how redevelopment authorities in Massachusetts might support social housing. A panel of practitioners and officials\, moderated by Chris Herbert\, will discuss the report’s findings and its implications for communities across the state. \nJoin the livestream!

SUMMARY:Living Together by Design: Housing to Connect Generations
DESCRIPTION:This half-day event hosted by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies will explore cutting-edge intergenerational designs.  Intergenerational housing and communities—places that purposefully house people of all ages—offer powerful ways to reduce social isolation\, improve affordability\, and strengthen access to supports. While intergenerational living is not a new idea\, recent innovative models provide valuable insights into housing designs and policies that build community\, foster autonomy and interpersonal connections\, and address affordability. This half-day event will bring together leaders from architecture\, planning\, homebuilding\, environmental gerontology\, public health\, and related fields to explore cutting-edge intergenerational designs—from flexible homes that adapt to the needs of multigenerational families to larger communities that foster daily interactions and shared support. This half-day event will explore how thoughtful design\, policy\, and programming can shape more inclusive\, resilient\, and connected places to live. \nAgenda\n1:00 pm — Welcome\nChris Herbert\, Managing Director\, JCHS \n1:05 pm — Overview: The Scale and Scaling of Intergenerational Living\nJennifer Molinsky\, Director\, Housing an Aging Society Program\, JCHS \n1:30 pm — Panel 1\nSharing a Home: The Multigenerational Household\nDonna Butts\, Senior Fellow and former Executive Director\, Generations United\nNoelle Marcus\, Founder and CEO\, Nesterly\nNatasha Pilkauskas\, Associate Professor of Public Policy\, Gerald R.

SUMMARY:The Housing TIF Guide: How Communities Can Establish Strong Housing TIF Policies
DESCRIPTION:The current affordable housing development landscape presents many challenges for new and experienced developers alike. Join CEDAM for a webinar series to discuss creative strategies and solutions aimed at tackling some of the barriers to development across Michigan. We’ll cover creating a clear Housing TIF policy in your community\, building a strong workforce development pipeline\, emerging construction options\, and other ways developers can reduce costs through the development process to get your project across the finish line. This webinar series is for both municipal leaders and developers interested in bringing needed housing to their communities. \nJoin CEDAM for the first session in our Strategies & Solutions webinar series\, The Housing TIF Guide: How Communities Can Establish Strong Housing TIF Policies. MSHDA’s Housing Tax Increment Financing (TIF) tool is one of Michigan’s newest resources that can support the construction\, rehabilitation\, and preservation of housing in your community. This tool is a new asset for communities who did not have access to TIF previously. The tool allows the developer to capture future increases in property tax revenue generated by the development to help pay for costs like infrastructure\, site preparation\, and more affordable housing units. Developers are increasingly going to the municipality in which they’re working to receive guidance on their housing priorities and the TIF terms in which they’d be willing to provide. Many municipalities\, however\, have yet to design and publish guidelines that both support their housing goals and balances a healthy budget. \nCEDAM has engaged with developers\, municipalities\, and other partners to help communities understand why the tool is needed to get deals done\, outlined considerations for creating their own policies\, and provided a step-by-step guide to establishing their own policy. Join us to learn about the guide and how you can utilize it for your own community to support projects that meet the housing goals you are trying to achieve.

SUMMARY:Rural Real Estate Development Boot Camp- Marquette
DESCRIPTION:CEDAM’s Real Estate Development Boot Camp is a multi-part training program designed to give you the tools needed to develop affordable housing in your community. From rising construction costs to new funding sources\, our training curriculum is updated each year to provide context around the current real estate development landscape in Michigan. We bring in experienced speakers from across the state and country to discuss practical applications of this work and help you create important connections. \nWe welcome anyone to register for this training who is interested in understanding the development process\, however\, the training curriculum is geared toward helping participants move their community-focused real estate development projects forward. We encourage all participants to bring a potential project (whether it be a potential site or building\, or even just an idea) to the training. \nOur target audience is: \nCommunity members who are interested in revitalizing their community through small-scale development projects\nNonprofit housing development staff who may be seeking to actualize a range of housing and community development projects utilizing LIHTC or other sources. \nOur secondary target audience is: \nCity staff officials\, community partners\, foundations\, or others who may be involved in the development process in some capacity \nWhether you are new to the field or need a refresher on the basics\, this training is for you! Those who join the training and do not have a potential project will have the opportunity to collaborate with those who do when we apply our learning through a final project pitch to funders. \nThis is a fast-paced\, hands-on training program. Because capacity is limited for the training and demand is high\, registrants must commit to being active participants and be available to attend all of part 1 and part 2 (one track only) dates. \nRegister for the Rural Real Estate Development Boot Camp in Marquette

SUMMARY:Community Engagement for Housing: Changing Hearts and Minds\, Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Many planners find that when it comes to housing projects\, the traditional engagement process does not draw a representative section of the community and\, as a result\, does not produce recommendations that meet the community’s needs\, or the goals expressed in the adopted master plan. This session identifies the groups who are consistently struggling to find housing across the state\, helping communities design engagement practices that can better reach them. It also explores ways to bring housing advocates\, and their deep knowledge of housing needs and proven solutions\, into the public conversation. \nOnline reference book is included. \nThis is a virtual event. \nPresenter:  Leah DuMouchel\, AICP\, Michigan Association of Planning \nRegister for the Community Engagement for Housing Webinar

SUMMARY:Use by Right and Administrative Approvals Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Permitting uses by right and implementing administrative approvals can connect a community vision that is based on meaningful community engagement and articulated in a plan with more appropriate zoning review processes\, creating more opportunities for investment and growth. This session discusses ways to shift responsibility for administrative development decisions toward the administrative professionals\, freeing up elected and appointed officials to set policy and develop broad guidance while reducing gratuitous friction in the review process. \nPresenter:  Amy Vansen\, AICP\, Michigan Association of Planning \nVirtual Event \nRegister for the Use by Right and Administrative Approvals Webinar
