Event Description

This interagency-sponsored workshop and two panel discussions on the importance of an early warning system for assessing affordable housing project risk in the first 15 years.

Targeted at staff, management and directors of private and public funding organizations and institutions, this event presented findings from two research papers along with a set of risk management guidelines and a dashboard for measuring portfolio progress, and an introduction to the concept of nonprofits generating excess cash assets for investment purposes.

  Introductions: Enterprise Community Partners
9:30 - 10:30am Panel: Early-Warning Systems for Affordable Housing Properties
 

Early-Warning Systems for Affordable Housing Properties provides guidelines for developing an early-warning system for properties from feasibility to Year 15. Presenters will share sample tools (e.g., criteria, guidelines and dashboard indicators) that can help boards and senior management assess risks at various stages in a project’s life. These tools are intended to aid in deciding whether a project should move forward, when it should be deferred and when to approach lenders and other stakeholders for assistance.
