Securing financing for student and workforce housing requires a diverse mix of funding sources to navigate today’s economic and political landscape. This session will explore key financing strategies, including direct government support, tax credits (LIHTC), tax-exempt bonds, private funding, housing trust funds, philanthropic contributions, and soft loans. Panelists will discuss the opportunities and challenges of each mechanism and examine how recent legislative changes, such as California SB4, are creating new pathways for housing development.
