Course Details

This course examines three innovative approaches to multifamily affordable housing: cooperatives, community land trusts, and condominiums. You'll learn how these models provide homeownership benefits while maintaining community control and long-term affordability through shared equity structures. Through case studies and practical exercises, you'll explore the advantages and challenges of each model, understand how equity sharing and resale restrictions work, and assess which approach fits your community's needs. You'll also gain tools to evaluate your organization's readiness to develop shared ownership housing and create implementation strategies that balance individual benefits with community stewardship and affordability preservation.
