Thousands of affordable rental properties in rural communities are in danger of being lost to disrepair or market forces in the next decade. This free Connecting Communities® webinar on May 4 will explore strategies that are being implemented to try and preserve these properties. We will focus on recently released data and tools that can help community organizations and their partners better understand the current landscape of affordable rural rental housing.
Presenters from online mapping company PolicyMap and the Rural Housing Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will describe the tools and data that their organizations have developed or are hosting. You'll also hear a practitioner's perspective as the leader of Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership discusses how his organization is using those tools and resources to identify at-risk properties and assess preservation strategies.
