The housing crisis affects nearly every community across the country, whether you live in an urban, suburban or rural setting. The crisis is often framed as single family homes out of reach for many versus escalating cost of renting. But alternative models of ownership-through affordable housing cooperatives and community land trusts-are long-established, proven models that not only provide housing but also advance equity and housing stability needs of communities.

Hear from local housing agency representatives who have helped create or preserve affordable housing through cooperative and community land trust models. Presented by the Cooperative Development Foundation (CDF)'s Affordable Housing Initiative, this 90-minute webinar will provide a high level introduction to these models, followed by a discussion of case studies to inform you as local government agency housing practitioners about the challenges and opportunities for developing this type of permanently affordable housing.
