Webinar: Exploring Shared Housing: A Flexible Model for Increasing Affordable Housing Options

Rising housing costs and shrinking public subsidies require us to consider a variety of approaches for meeting our community’s housing needs. Shared housing is a flexible model for increasing affordable housing options. Learn about the Enterprise-sponsored Strategic Guide for Scaling Shared Housing, a valuable resource for housing professionals. Hear from agencies in Vermont, Maryland and California that use shared housing to serve vulnerable populations. This webinar will provide an overview of the field and highlight shared housing’s role for maximizing the existing housing supply while stabilizing households and neighborhoods.
