About the Event

As housing affordability continues to challenge markets nationwide, shared equity models – like community land trusts, deed-restricted programs, and limited-equity cooperatives – offer pathways to sustainable homeownership for lower-income homebuyers. This webinar will examine how these models work and the opportunities they present for lenders who want to play a critical role in expanding access to homeownership.

Presented by policy and practitioner subject matter experts, this session features expert panelists from a community land trust and a lending institution who will share insights on underwriting, risk management, secondary market compatibility, and cultivating partnerships in the field.
