SUMMARY:Real Estate Development Rural Boot Camp
DESCRIPTION:Rural Boot Camp | Gaylord | September 14–18\, 2026 \nBoot Camp Overview\nCEDAM’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: \n\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\n\nOur secondary target audience is: \n\nCity staff officials\, community partners\, foundations\, or others who may be involved in the development process in some capacity\n\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. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Sandy Pearson\, CEDAM’s real estate development manager. \nRegister Here
