BUILDING AFFORDABILITY SPEAKER SERIES – AFFORDABLE HOUSING: UNDERSTANDING LOCAL AND GLOBAL APPROACHES WITH ANYA BRICKMAN RAREDON

Spring 2024 Speaker Series: Building Equity
Affordable Housing: Understanding Local and Global Approaches with Anya Brickman Raredon

Drawing from her experience in over 20 countries, Anya Brickman Raredon will share examples of housing ecosystem analyses that have led to the development of programs, policies, and projects to increase access and affordability of housing around the world. Whether in the US, an emerging economy, or a post-disaster environment, successful housing markets arise when the underlying value chains of supply and demand are synchronized to respectively produce houses (supply) and finance (demand) at compatible price points. Anya will describe how the Affordable Housing Institute uses a practical, rigorous, and comprehensive methodology to understand and evaluate a local housing market, identify key levers for change, and to design and implement new paradigm solutions for urgent affordable housing and urban development challenges.
