Online Webinar

This webinar will focus on the ways in which the affordable housing landscape has changed in New Jersey post pandemic. We will look at tax credit, development, lending and municipal roles and how those roles have changed. What are the challanges? What has improved? There have been significant changes in construction costs, interest rates, and municipal affordable housing status in the past few years, so it will be helpful to get the varying perspectives on what different practitioners are seeing.

This event, hosted by the NJTOD.org, Downtown New Jersey, and NJ TRANSIT’s Transit Friendly Planning (TFP) program, will bring together a panel of experts from public, private, and non-profit entities to discuss their experiences with available financing tools and how they are used in transit-oriented development.

How can community leaders continue to engage stakeholders and other members of the public in important local decisions when staying safe means staying home? The MSU National Charrette Institute and the Form-Based Codes Institute at Smart Growth America are partnering to deliver a series of webinars to provide local leaders, developers and advocates with tools and examples for staying in touch, sharing ideas, and getting interactive feedback to keep critical decisions moving forward. Many of these techniques, while essential in this time of separation, have the potential to engage new, hard-to-reach segments of the community, and will be useful, even beyond this current crisis.
