Access to homeownership and quality housing is vital to a strong U.S. economy. Beyond providing shelter, housing affects a person’s employment prospects, job quality, stability, and more. Understanding the housing sector and how it impacts people’s lives is key to the Fed’s work to promote financial security and meet our dual mandate.
Pathways to Housing Affordability
Pathways to Housing Affordability is a series hosted by the Philadelphia Fed to examine housing issues and challenges in the Third District. The series will bring together business and community leaders, policymakers, bankers, nonprofits, researchers, and experts in the housing and workforce development sectors to advance collaborative, community-focused solutions. Learn more about the first part of the series.
Part 2: Preservation Strategies to Strengthen Workforce Communities
Preserving the affordability and availability of homes for ownership is critical to providing housing options for working families. This session will explore strategies to preserve the existing affordable housing stock to ensure continued access to stable housing for low- and moderate-income households.
Join us to discuss partnerships and innovative solutions to increase and preserve housing affordability. Topics will include:
- community-driven solutions that support housing stability;
- strategies to maintain and preserve home quality and affordability; and
- cross-sector partnerships to strengthen economic stability and keep families in their homes.
