In the second webinar of HAND's Lunch & Learn series, Affordable Housing Isn't Affordable Anymore: When the Math Doesn't Math, a panel of affordable housing professionals explores the rising costs of construction, financing, insurance, and long-term operations, and how those pressures are changing what it takes to create and preserve affordable housing. Topics discussed include: • Rising construction and development costs • Financing affordable housing projects • Insurance and long-term operating expenses • Project feasibility and funding gaps • Creative financing and community partnerships • The importance of preserving existing affordable housing Panelists • Jonathan Ehlke, Principal & Owner, Gratus Development • Alan Rakowski, Senior Director of Real Estate Allocation, Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority (IHCDA) • Lydia Watson, Director of Real Estate Development, Intend Indiana This webinar is part of HAND's Lunch & Learn series, made possible through the support of the Hamilton County Community Foundation and inspired by conversations from HAND's Suburban Housing Conference.
