How can we help educators and essential workers afford homes in the communities where they work? While some school districts are building housing for their teachers, new models such as shared appreciation down payment programs enable essential workers to buy homes by reducing the down payment savings barrier and increasing their buying power. Join us to hear from Alex Lofton at Landed, the first and only organization making these types of programs easier for institutions like schools, hospitals, and governments to deploy for their workers. We discuss Alex’s inspiration for co-founding Landed, what he’s learned from startup life, and how Landed is growing.
Landed was the 2019 Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability Co-Winner in Finance.
