Charlotte leaders have long committed to bringing more affordable housing to the region. In October, the city announced partnering with Enterprise Community Partners to start the Faith in Housing Charlotte initiative to transform underutilized land from faith-based organizations into affordable housing. We take a look at the intersection of faith, land and policy to reshape our housing future.

In this episode of "WAHNcast," host Angie Truitt discusses rising insurance costs in the affordable housing sector with Nikki Freyman, Senior Asset Manager at Enterprise Community Partners. They focus on the financial strain these costs place on providers, particularly in disaster-prone areas like the Gulf Coast. Nikki shares insights on the trends, challenges, and potential solutions, including regulatory changes, innovative insurance options, and the importance of public-private partnerships. The episode underscores the urgent need for systemic change to ensure the sustainability of affordable housing amidst escalating insurance premiums.

As VP of Building Resilient Futures at Enterprise Community Partners, Krista Egger stewards the nonprofit's national environmental programs, including Green Communities, Health Action Plan, Resilience Academies, and Decarbonization Hubs. Krista went to Oberlin and and studied physics and architectural history. After college, a stint with AmeriCorps introduced her to a kind of applied building science. “I had the opportunity to identify root causes and then make things better,” she says.  Sometimes making things better means dismantling long-held beliefs. “For too long,” she says, “there has been a perceived predicament of whether people can build affordable housing or green housing, whether there can be a standard way to operate buildings or green ways of operating buildings. Those are false choices.”The programs that Egger leads are leveraging capital and policy and resources to solve for barriers that prevent all housing from being affordable, healthy, and resilient. “We are centering the needs of people who live in housing to make decisions about housing.”related links:Health Action Plan framework Green Communities Criteria

Washington State Sen. Emily Alvarado, D-Seattle, is facing an ethics complaint for allegedly violating laws regarding her role with Enterprise Community Partners, a group lobbying for the bill she sponsors, Engrossed House Bill 1217. Conservative activist Glen Morgan of We The Governed recently filed the complaint, alleging that Alvarado violated state laws (RCW 42.52.020 and RCW 42.52.110) due to her role as Vice President. He argues that Alvarado has a conflict of interest, as legislators are prohibited from holding certain positions with organizations that engage in lobbying.

As the nation continues to grapple with rising homelessness and rising housing costs, the need to create and preserve more affordable homes has never been more acute. Yet, innovations are happening at the local level to spur safer, stronger communities. What are the practical solutions for bringing down escalating housing costs? And how can a national movement leverage proven solutions to ending homelessness and our housing crisis?rnrnJoin us at the City Club for a wide-ranging discussion with Enterprise Community Partners President and CEO Shaun Donovan and Senator Michele Reynolds (R-Canal Winchester) on the housing challenges facing Cleveland, the State of Ohio, and the nation.

Among California's efforts to fight homelessness is an allocation of more than $91 million to boost tribal housing efforts. The Cherokee Nation is putting $40 million toward affordable housing this year. That's on top of a $120 million housing investment two years ago. HUD is disbursing almost $73 million toward housing programs for 38 tribes. The aim is to offset the persistent disparity in Native American homelessness. We'll hear about what that money is being spent on and what hurdles remain. GUESTS Jamie Navenma (Hopi), executive director for Laguna Housing and Management Enterprise, president of the Southwest Tribal Housing Alliance, and a representative of region 8 for the National American Indian Housing Council Evelyn Immonen (Turtle Mt. Band of Chippewa Indians), senior program officer for the Tribal Nations and Rural Communities team at Enterprise Community Partners Jody Perez (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes), executive director of the Salish and Kootenai Housing Authority

Exploring the Impact of a Four-Day Workweek on Nonprofits In this week's episode of the Nonprofit News Feed by Whole Whale, George Weiner and Nick Azulay dive into the potential effects of a four-day workweek on the nonprofit sector. As digital strategists and nonprofit enthusiasts, they explore how this shift, gaining traction in places like Tokyo and parts of Europe, could influence volunteer availability and nonprofit operations. Nick highlights the growing trend towards shorter workweeks, noting that it could alleviate burnout among nonprofit staff, often overworked and underpaid. This change might also lead to an increase in volunteer hours, as people could have more free time to contribute to causes they care about. George adds that advances in AI and digital tools could streamline volunteer coordination, making it easier for nonprofits to manage their resources efficiently. The discussion also touches on the broader implications of a shorter workweek, such as a shift in how productivity is measured—focusing on outcomes rather than hours. This shift could open up new opportunities for nonprofits to fill the "purpose gap," engaging more people in meaningful work beyond traditional employment metrics like GDP. Legislative Update: Nonprofits Face Potential Threats The episode also covers the reintroduction of HR 9495 in the Senate, a bill that could allow the U.S. Treasury to strip nonprofits of their tax-exempt status if deemed to support terrorism. The hosts express concern over the lack of due process in this legislation, which could expose nonprofits to abuse and harassment. With Congress's session ending soon, the bill's fate remains uncertain, but advocacy efforts continue to highlight its potential dangers. Challenges in Nonprofit Funding Transparency Another topic discussed is the financial struggles of OpenSecrets, a nonprofit dedicated to government transparency and tracking money in politics. Recent layoffs at OpenSecrets reflect a broader trend of dwindling support for transparency-focused organizations, posing a risk to public understanding of political finance. Mackenzie Scott's Continued Philanthropic Impact Ending on a positive note, the hosts celebrate Mackenzie Scott's recent $65 million donation to Enterprise Community Partners, an affordable housing nonprofit. This gift underscores Scott's ongoing commitment to addressing critical societal issues through substantial philanthropic efforts.

MacKenzie Scott donated $65 million to Enterprise Community Partners, a Maryland-based nonprofit focused on affordable housing. This donation follows her previous $50 million contribution to the organization in 2020. The funding addresses challenges in the housing sector and represents one of the largest reported gifts to an affordable housing entity. Shaun Donovan, CEO of the nonprofit, acknowledged the recognition of housing affordability as a national issue and highlighted how Scott's support will strengthen their efforts in providing sustainable housing solutions. Scott, with a 1.3% stake in Amazon and an estimated net worth of $41.3 billion, has made multiple significant donations to various nonprofits in recent years.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

In Part Two of our conversation with Lisa Gutierrez on ChangeMakers, we explore the human side of affordable housing development. Lisa shares inspiring stories from her portfolio, including groundbreaking projects like one of the nation's first LGBTQ+ senior housing developments and the revitalization of a historic Bracero farm worker housing complex in Soledad, California. As a 2023 inductee into the California Housing Consortium's Hall of Fame, Lisa discusses her unexpected journey from a college graduate in communications to a leading voice in affordable housing finance. She emphasizes the importance of mentorship and network-building, particularly through her involvement with the Women's Affordable Housing Network and various industry boards including the Housing Trust of Silicon Valley and Enterprise Community Partners. The episode concludes with Lisa's perspective on team leadership at U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance, where her group's impressive tenure—ranging from 13 to 20+ years—speaks to their deep commitment to the mission of creating affordable housing. Through personal insights and professional wisdom, Lisa illustrates how providing "home" isn't just about building structures, but about creating foundations for successful lives.

July 24, 2024 Vernon interviews April De Simone, founder of the Practice of Democracy (PoD). Vernon and April explore how her initiatives, particularly in affordable cooperative-mutualist housing, have expanded and influenced the broader objectives of PoD. April De Simone, the founder of the Practice of Democracy, and curator of Democracy is..., is a transdisciplinary designer who operates at the nexus of social dynamics and spatial design. She explores the interplay between built environments and the communities that inhabit them. Her work fosters a profound comprehension of how inequity and dehumanization are manifested and perpetuated within spaces. Collaborating with a variety of stakeholders, she reshapes spatial practice opportunities to embed democratic values into the environments and systems we create. An esteemed speaker, facilitator, and board member, April's influence extends across equity and design matters. Recognized by Enterprise Community Partners as one of their Impactful 40, she is also a Dean Merit Scholar and holds a Master of Science in Design and Urban Ecologies from Parsons School of Design. The Practice of Democracy (PoD) is prototyping an immersive online experience. PoD strongly believes the more we expose and educate one another to build shared-value understanding, the more we can collectively advance democratic rights and values. These stories located within a neighborhood can be represented both digitally and physically. Democracy is… is a public engagement campaign calling for our collective attention and action in understanding how democratic values are represented through the environments and systems we plan and design.

Thursday, December 7th, 2023   Shaun Donovan is the CEO and President of Enterprise Community Partners. We discuss how the deeply entrenched housing crisis has become worse in recent years and the multiple strategies to make home and community places of pride, power, and belonging.   Housing is a basic need that is fundamental to democratic participation. The lack of housing is preventing communities around the country from attracting workers and studies show slowing GDP growth due to housing affordability. People across the US are increasingly recognizing that housing isn't just a moral issue or an issue of justice for low-income people.

In episode 182 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons host Mark Nevitt, a former Navy Jag and now Law professor at Emory University.  Mark shares his insights on the intersection of law and climate change. They discuss how US laws were created during a much more stable climate and how the legal system has not kept up with the current climate moment. The takings clause in the US Constitution is now relevant for climate change and Mark and Doug dig into this issue. Mark also considers his military experience good preparation to get into climate adaptation. We also discuss whether judges should recuse themselves if they are climate skeptics and should we amend the US Constitution to address important adaptation issues. Also, what would happen if the President declared a national emergency around climate change. Join us for this fascinating discussion on the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of law and climate change. Topics covered: ·         Mark's military background in the Navy and military justice informs his perspective on climate change adaptation. ·         US laws were created during a time of more stable climate, which poses legal uncertainties for climate adaptation measures. ·         The takings clause in the US Constitution is relevant to climate change adaptation.  ·         Cities that commit funding for infrastructure are now liable to maintain it, even in the face of long-term climate impacts.  ·         Climate skeptics may pose a challenge to legal decisions in climate adaptation cases, raising questions about judge recusal. ·         Is there a need to amend the US Constitution to address important adaptation issues? ·         Without a change in legal doctrine, climate adaptation will default to unmanaged retreat, exacerbating existing inequalities. ·         A declaration of a national emergency around climate change by the President could help to spur action on climate adaptation.  ·         The 5th Amendment presents challenges for implementing many climate adaptation measures due to its provisions on property rights and compensation.

Dr. Meghan Venable Thomas serves as the Director of Community Development for the City of Birmingham, supporting a Birmingham where all communities thrive. Previously, as a Senior Program Director at Enterprise Community Partners, she supported community development organizations across the country in integrating creative and community centered processes for equitable outcomes in affordable housing. With her Doctorate in Public Health from Harvard University and over 15 years of military service her background and training is grounded in increasing health equity in the built environment, creating strategies for community based design, and advancing tools for healing justice. Meghan holds a masters degree in Public Health Management from Columbia University and a bachelor's degree from the United States Military Academy (USMA).

D.C.'s mayor is moving forward with a plan to add more affordable housing to the city by facilitating its building on land owned by houses of worship. Deputy Mayor John Falchiccio tells us how a new partnership and a request for interested churches, synagogues, and mosques to participate will help the mayor reach her goal of building 36,000 affordable units by 2025. Then a special guest joins Megan for a kid-friendly installment of DMV Dates.

In her new book, Gray to Green Communities, Dana Bourland argues that we need to move away from a gray housing model to a green one, which values the health and well-being of residents, their communities, and the planet. Dana shows that we don't have to choose between protecting our environment and providing quality housing for all. How can we achieve both climate goals and housing equity when residential buildings alone account for 20 percent of our carbon emissions? What are the inevitable trade-offs and challenges we need address? And where are the success stories we can turn to for inspiration and guidance? We'll talk to Dana about these questions and the promise of her Gray to Green approach.Dana is Senior Vice President for the Environment at The JPB Foundation. Before joining JPB, she was Vice President of Green Initiatives at Enterprise Community Partners, a nonprofit dedicated to “making well-designed homes affordable”. She developed and oversaw all aspects of Enterprise's Green Communities program including the creation of the Green Communities Criteria and Enterprise's Multifamily Retrofit Program.

On this episode of the Impact Real Estate Podcast presented by Jackson Lucas Executive Search, we take a deep dive into affordable housing with Heather Hood, the Vice President and Northern California Market Leader for Enterprise Community Partners. Heather talks us through how she went from wanting to be an architect to directing programs to ensure residents live in quality homes that are affordable and connected to opportunity.Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3I3nkG9Spotify: https://spoti.fi/35ZJGLTWeb: https://www.jacksonlucas.com/podcast/heather-hoodEPISODE NOTES:02:33 - Stepping stones to more 04:20 - Philanthropy and funding 09:08 - A curvy process 16:22 - The baby elephant 21:15 - Foundation of trust 28:05 - Design thinking 32:40 - "Know your stuff..." 35:05 - The crisis is getting worse38:12 - Deep in my bones 42:10 - The Hot Seat presented by KK Reset

Bomee Jung is co-founder/co-CEO of Cadence OneFive, a public benefit corporation with a climate justice mission. They are developing, Momentum, a software to enable city-scale acceleration of existing building decarbonization. Before this role, Bomee was the first VP for Energy and Sustainability at the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), and before that she led the climate mitigation and adaptation programs of the New York office of Enterprise Community Partners. She serves on the board of the Institute for Market Transformation and the loan committee of Capital For Change. With Momentum, Bomee and her co-founder and team are focused on change at scale. “We deliver a way for owners to understand their options around climate response, using building science and climate data,” she says. Instead of the bespoke consulting service model, the Momentum team proposes that many owners with conventional properties can benefit from a dataset-empowered playbook. “There are lots of options for doing climate responsive construction today. This is a way for people to understand methods and technologies, not just about emissions but also about housing quality and other factors.” Bomee suggests that the industry is facing a traditional tragedy of the commons problem. Sharing information could generate broad positive impact. With construction pricing, for example, sharing fresh information widely could rapidly reduce risks for many. This is where software has a unique role: “These are known problems and we offer transparency to help solve them.” 

A recent Los Angeles Times report examined seven affordable housing projects in Northern California in which the cost of development surpassed $1 million per unit. Part of the reason for the exorbitant cost of building is skyrocketing construction prices with rising material and labor costs exacerbated by the pandemic and supply chain shortages. But, as the L.A. Times points out, local and state requirements add a sizable amount to the total expense. For nonprofit developers who build subsidized housing, that means fewer units for more money. As California looks for ways to alleviate the housing crisis, we discuss why affordable housing is becoming more unaffordable and strategies to bring down the price tag. Guests: Liam Dillon, statewide housing affordability and neighborhood change reporter, Los Angeles Times Heather Hood, vice president, Northern California, Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. Tim Grayson, California State assembly member, district 14 (encompasses portions of Contra Costa and Solano Counties) Ben Metcalf, managing director, Terner Center of Housing Innovation at the University of California, Berkeley; former director, California Department of Housing and Community Development

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Roy Swan, the director of mission investments at the Ford Foundation and a national leader in the fields of sustainable finance, impact investing, and community and economic development. In this conversation, Swan describes how his childhood aspirations for a career helping people, and his decades of experience in banking, community and economic development, and sustainable finance, have culminated in his work at the Ford Foundation where, he says, “our job is all about making the world better.” Swan recalls his enthusiasm when learning in 2017 that Ford had committed $1 billion of its then $12.4 billion endowment to mission-related investing: “I thought, the Ford Foundation and Darren Walker have just moved the world.” Swan joined the foundation from Morgan Stanley shortly thereafter and has helped shape and execute its mission investing strategy, focusing on private investments that achieve market rate returns and social impact in areas of affordable housing, financial inclusion, quality jobs, and identifying diverse fund managers to deploy Ford's capital (more recently it has also expanded into biotech and health tech in the global south). Swan says that he has never been more hopeful about the future of impact investing, chiefly because we now have the data that underscore the cost — social and financial — of deep social and environmental problems (i.e., the $16 trillion lost over the last two decades in the United States to racial gaps in wages, education, housing, and investment) and the positive social benefits and economic and financial returns that come from fairness, equity, and responsible corporate behavior.

Ron Terwilliger's outstanding career and legacy didn't end when he retired from Trammell Crow, it only grew.Coming from a low-income family with little expectations of wealth, he wanted to give back and affordable housing seemed to be the most natural place for his philanthropic interest to bloom.   “As I started to get wealthy in my late forties and fifties, I began thinking: what should I do with my time and wealth?”From his $100 million legacy gift to Habitat for Humanity, chairing Habitat's international Board and the Enterprise Community Partners board to name a few, Ron gives generously of his money, time, and expertise.Public PolicyWhile he is very active in the private sector, his role in the public sector has made a serious impact. After being invited to give a lecture at Harvard on Housing Policy in America, he became inspired by the great Shortage of affordable housing in this country. He characterized this shortage as a housing crisis formed a foundation and started meeting with senators and congressman to change federal housing policies and transform the system.He shares how he has found that unfortunately, the time and resources that the government have devoted to this crisis have been scarce, and housing affordability has not been given the attention and effort it deserves and needs.   “The bottom line to me with this growing shortage of affordable workforce housing is the way we are going to address itis by providing more creative subsidies for construction and more income subsidy. I'm pleased to see that some of the state's Governors as well as mayors of major cities are paying attention.”When people hear “low-income housing” or “affordable housing,” they often mistakenly think of people who are unemployed or aren't working. Ron has opted to call it “affordable workforce housing,” however, as it is actually our nurses, firefighters, and policemen who fall into this category and often have to make a serious commute to work because they can't afford to live close to their job.The Importance of LeadershipRon believes strongly in the importance of selfless, kind, generous leaders who people trust. These were the types of leaders he tried to attract at Trammell Crow, and he credits their ability to give honest feedback and work hard for creating a “utopia-like” work environment.Two great CEO's who inspire him and who he works with closely today are Jonathan Reckford at Habitat for Humanity and Terri Ludwig at Enterprise.Ron serves on 11 boards and is actively engaged in offering advice, money, and time. He admits that initially as he entered philanthropy, he was embarrassed to talk about how much he gives away, but he has been encouraged that by telling others about his philanthropy it will inspire others to give generously of their time and talent.Ron's Advice:Find something to do that you really love. Discover the breadth of real estate, see where you can fit, and don't be afraid to change roles or direction as necessary to do what you want.
