Keys to Opportunity in the Housing Market: How Financial Models Advance and Constrain Low-Income Communities October 2, 2023 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm EDT Since the Great Recession, financial markets have increasingly influenced housing markets and have had a particular impact on low- and moderate-income communities.

Join us October 2 for a research-driven discussion that will explore how both contracts for deed and investor-owned single-family rentals are affecting lower-income communities.
