Brownfields & Affordable Housing: Clarksdale, MS - September 21, 2017

Delta Communities The Transformative Potential of Affordable Housing Development on Communities and Families in the Delta National demand for affordable rental housing is increasing, while the rate of building these units is declining. The 2017 annual report from The Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, The State of the Nation's Housing, found that the demand for affordable rental housing far outpaces supply. In 2015, more than 11 million renter households were severely cost burdened (i.e., spending more than 50 percent of their income for housing). The Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program was added to the Internal Revenue Code in 1986 to provide an incentive to the private sector to create and maintain affordable housing. Since its inception, LIHTC has been, to some, synonymous with low-quality housing in southern states. When used as urban renewal capital, however, LIHTC can transform blighted or disinvested neighborhoods into thriving, strong communities. Don't miss our next Delta Communities convening on September 21. We will explore how affordable housing development can break the cycle of poverty, catalyze change and generate economic development for communities and families in the Delta. Speakers will include:  Clarence Chapman, CEO of Chartre Consulting Ltd., who will explain how—as a private developer—his company produces high-quality housing available exclusively for lower-income residents; Billy Nowell, mayor of Cleveland, Miss., who will share the positive impact that affordable housing built by Chartre Consulting has had on a blighted neighborhood and its residents; and Jere ("Trey") Hess, director of brownfields and economic development at PPM Consultants, who will discuss how one city's liability (an old hospital) will be transformed into an asset: an affordable housing development.  There also will be two panels comprised of representatives from lenders who offer financing for single- and multifamily housing. Participation in this session is free; however, registration is required by Monday, September 18, as space is limited. Lunch will be provided. Please note that, while the forum will be held in Clarksdale, leaders from communities across the Delta region are encouraged to attend. For more information, please contact Faith Weekly at 502-568-9216 or faith.e.weekly@stls.frb.org. We look forward to seeing you!   When Thursday, Sept. 21, 2017 10 a.m.–1 p.m. CT Where The Bank 123 East Second St. Clarksdale, MS 38614 Registration Deadline Monday, September 18, 2017   Click here for the event summary Do you want to register?            Presented by the Community Development department at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
