Affordable Housing
Best Practices in the Production of Affordable Housing
Community Catalyst Report Number 3—Best Practices in Producing Affordable Housing, a ULI/Fannie Mae Foundation Policy Forum held in Washington, D.C., on March 29 and 30, 2005, was sponsored by the Fannie Mae Foundation to identify and explore current best practices and learn from companies that are doing an exemplary job of providing affordable housing. In addition, the two-day forum sought to identify the major barriers to the production of such housing. The ultimate goal is a systems change that facilitates the production of affordable housing on a broader scale.
