What is shared equity housing?
Affordable housing cooperatives that include multifamily, scattered site or manufactured housing parks, like ROCUSA members, as well as community land trust models that include affordable housing.
The Cooperative Development Foundation is launching an Affordable Housing Initiative to educate communities and decision-makers about opportunities for resident and/or community-owned and controlled housing that can help advance racial equity and strengthen long-term housing stability.
Access the recording and slide deck from the launch webinar where experts from national organizations and academics discussed how shared equity homeownership models and community land trusts can help communities across the country to preserve and increase permanently affordable housing options for their residents.
"Trends in Shared Equity Housing," is a working paper commissioned by CDF on the models, their history, and financing and technical assistance needs by researchers from The Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University.
We will update the working paper as new information becomes available. If you have insights or research to contribute to the report, please contact Electra Skrzydlewski at eskrzydlewski@ncba.coop.
