Housing affordability, in all segments but especially multifamily, is an increasing challenge and a priority on the federal, state and local levels.
The dire need for housing that low- and middle-income households can afford has created broad-based support for expanding the supply and preserving the existing stock of affordable housing. Progress has been made, but the need is still greater. Participants in the affordable housing ecosystem are straining to rise to the occasion, but the difficulties are significant.
This webinar is designed specifically for multifamily developers, owners, lenders, investors and managers of affordable housing (across all ownership types, for-profit and nonprofit) as well as interested public policy entities such as state housing finance agencies.
What’s the path forward? That’s what we cover in an in-depth hour discussion featuring Jeff Adler, vice president, and Paul Fiorilla, associate director, who cover the following topics:
- A brief overview of the U.S. economic context
- How Yardi Matrix Multifamily provides financial and market transparency for the affordable housing sector
- The need for, and lack of, sufficient affordable housing and the risk of falling further behind
- Pipeline of new development, new delivery forecasts, as well as properties reaching the end of their compliance and extended use periods
- Has affordable housing kept its promise? Is it also a viable investment vehicle?
- Performance data on income and expenses, NOI and occupancy
- Factors that affect performance on the local level
- Competitiveness with market rate housing
- Targeting the need
- Mortgage maturities
- Public policy programs are trying to encourage new supply
- Strategies for investing in affordable housing to be part of the solution

The self storage sector appears to have reached an inflection point. Recent data indicates that fundamentals are beginning to improve, but the recovery is far from uniform. Varying market conditions, driven by local supply pipelines, shifting demand patterns and capital market dynamics, are driving a wide range of outcomes across regions.
