Congratulations to Ceceily Cliff, MPA on being selected as one of Affordable Housing Finance's 2024 Young Leaders! “I would like to continue to be a voice and promote to other owners and operators how important it is to not only develop but ensure that residents and community members are able to benefit and maximize on the supports that we can offer as they’re living in affordable housing, either temporarily for a season or long term,” said Cliff in the award spotlight.

Earlier this week, we hosted a field trip to the Success Center as part of Indiana Philanthropy Alliance's #IPACON2024. We talked about creative ways philanthropy can support quality affordable housing, including insight from Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA)'s Matt Rayburn, Central Indiana Community Foundation's Jeff Bennett, Intend Indiana's Steven Meyer, Gene B. Glick Company's Ceceily Brickley, MPA and Sharvonne A. Walker, MPA, CSSGB, and Carriage House East resident leaders. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

In this Q&A with Affordable Housing Finance, Glick Housing Foundation president?David Barrett discusses the growing housing shortage, significant barriers to meeting demand, and creative approaches to preservation. Ultimately, the best solutions will involve public-private partnerships: ?? Housing developers and providers can partner with city leaders to leverage property tax incentives for preserving #affordablehousing. Often, these exemptions are offered to encourage property upgrades and supportive services that improve the condition of affordable housing units and residents’ quality of life. ?? HUD recently announced $30 billion in renewal funding for the Housing Choice Voucher program. Without concurrent expansion of funding for #housingpreservation — such as increased LIHTC allocations — voucher holders may struggle to find affordable homes. As state agencies are ultimately responsible for #LIHTC allocations, they must think about how to incentivize preservation projects when developing their policies. ?? Philanthropic organizations can play a crucial role by providing gap funding in the form of soft funds or low-cost loans, enabling the underwriting of lower rents and helping to meet community demand.
