Two of the prime goals of shared equity homeownership programs are to provide long-term affordability and asset building opportunities to lower income families. But how well do they balance these two seemingly contradictory goals?

A recent report by The Urban Institute, , provides information on seven shared equity homeownership programs across the country that provide long-term affordable homeownership opportunities. The report findings demonstrate how such programs can effectively provide long-term affordability while still offering their residents substantial asset building opportunities.

Please join us tomorrow, Wednesday, January 26, 2011- 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. for a webinar to learn more about these seven exemplary programs and how shared equity homeownership can serve as an effective tool to promote individual asset building.

• Participate in the webinar:  The two-part event begins at 3:30 p.m. EST (12:30 p.m. PST) with a 90-minute webinar that will provide an opportunity to listen to each speaker as well as ask questions.
   
• Continue the conversation:  Immediately following the call, we encourage you to post additional questions and comments on the HousingPolicy.org Forum.
