7-B. Expand Your Mission by Becoming an Affordable Housing Provider

Can life plan community sponsors become affordable housing providers? This session will answer that question by exploring how the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program could help your organization broaden its mission, promote economic diversity and inclusion, and address a critical need. A panel of providers at various stages of LIHTC-funded projects will share their experiences with affordable housing, from initial planning to implementation. Presenters will offer their insights into the LIHTC process and help you assess how an affordable housing development project could align with your community’s mission and strategic goals. Whether new to LIHTC or looking for inspiration, this session will leave you with a better understanding of the opportunities associated with affordable housing—and practical strategies to help you seize them.
