SUMMARY:It Works: Converting Motels and Hotels into Affordable Housing
DESCRIPTION:The pandemic has created an opportunity for many government agencies and private businesses to try new ideas to address the national shortage of affordable housing. One such welcomed policy opportunity has been a conversion strategy to create more units of deeply affordable housing. While many states and localities have leased space in hotels/motels to provide shelter for people experiencing homelessness during the pandemic\, several states are finding opportunities to acquire and convert some of these spaces into permanent housing\, using federal\, state and local resources. \n\n\nOn June 17\, Mary Tingerthal\, former Commissioner of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency\, led a discussion with housing policy experts from across the country who discussed their motel/hotel conversion programs: what it took politically and practically\, policy changes that were needed and future opportunities. \n\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n\nRichard Gentry serves as president and CEO of the San Diego Housing Commission. Mr. Gentry leads an agency with more than 300 employees and an annual operating revenue budget of $268.1 million.\n\n\n\nMegan Loeb serves as a program officer at Oregon Community Foundation (OCF)\, where she focuses on strategic projects to improve economic vitality and housing stability across the diverse landscape of Oregon. Prior to her role at OCF\, Megan led corporate social responsibility initiatives for technology companies for two decades. \nView presentation slides\n\n\nRep. Pam Marsh (D-Ore.) was first elected to House District 5 in southern Oregon in November 2016 and reelected to a third term in 2020.

SUMMARY:Briefing on Affordable Homeownership and Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:As Congress begins work on legislation to improve the U.S. infrastructure\, it is crucial that affordable homeownership be included. Homeownership is a key building block for stable\, vital neighborhoods as well for the wealth\, education\, and health of individual families. There is no investment alternative that is as beneficial as homeownership for building assets\, and\, as new research is beginning to demonstrate\, investments in homeownership improve housing affordability. \nHomeownership offers families stable housing costs because mortgage payments on fixed-rate loans don’t increase\, unlike rents. Since much economic inequality is rooted in the racial gap in homeownership rates\, it is critical to launch a renewed effort to boost the U.S. homeownership rates among people who have been shut out of this important means of building wealth. \nOn June 28\, congressional sponsors of affordable homeownership bills\, state officials\, homeownership experts\, and mission-driven nonprofits spoke on expanding affordable homeownership opportunities.
