Creating Pathways to Homeownership

Learn how a funder, a housing agency and local community builders co-created a housing solution that tangibly impacts people’s lives in rural communities. Pathways To Homeownership helps low- to middle-income residents purchase a home, and invests in small-scale housing developers to create affordable homes. This program was built by listening to local needs, developing relationships over time, and leveraging financial, social and built capital. This session is for foundation leaders developing strategies to impact housing challenges, funders interested in co-designing solutions, and practitioners curious about cultivating deep partnerships directly with community members.
