“We know that second homes are riskier. They do not perform as well, with all of the factors being the same, as your primary residence,” said David M. Dworkin, president and CEO of the nonprofit National Housing Conference.
On March 2, 2022, nonprofit affiliates gathered at a virtual event, “Federal Funding, Local Impact: Shared Equity as a Housing Solution,” hosted by the National Housing Conference.
David Dworkin, president of the National Housing Conference, which advocates for affordable housing, suggested that Barr’s understanding of Wall Street gives him the right mix of “centrist expertise and progressive policy views” to win confirmation in a closely divided Senate.
The gap between the amount of revenue a building will generate based on rents and what developers need to pay lenders prevent many affordable units before they even begin, according to the National Housing Conference. Without enough tax credits and grants, developers need to take out bigger loans, and many lenders won’t provide them. If the rent is genuinely affordable, the property’s net operating income will often be too low to justify.
“If we fail to address shortages in housing supply, we run the risk of fueling the fires of inflation rather than extinguishing them. The result could be ‘stagflation,’ a word most of us haven’t used in a generation–-high inflation and economic recession,” says David Dworkin, president and chief executive officer of the National Housing Conference. “This would devastate the housing economy and only exacerbate our current housing supply challenges.”
David Dworkin, a former U.S. Treasury official and State Department veteran during the twilight of the Cold War, compared the Federal Reserve Board to the Soviet Politburo. “A small group of independently powerful leaders who have risen through the ranks defers to a powerful chairman until they don’t,” said Dworkin, now president and CEO of The National Housing Conference, a D.C. nonprofit.
“The initiatives announced today are critical to eliminating racial bias, improving appraisal accuracy, and opening access to more affordable, sustainable homeownership opportunities for minority borrowers,” said David Dworkin, president and CEO of the National Housing Conference, in a statement. “Accurate and fair appraisals are the foundation of sound mortgage underwriting and sustainable mortgages that equitably serve all Americans.”
“Given the numbers and additional costs that we’re looking at, the vast majority of first-time homebuyers are going to be pushed out of this market and will have to wait,” said David M. Dworkin, the president and CEO of the National Housing Conference, a nonprofit housing advocacy group. “Most first-time homebuyers — and certainly first-generation homebuyers — are going to struggle,” he said.
