Can Lease Purchase Save Us?

Posted under NHI News on January 20, 2012

A webinar, Can Lease Purchase Save Us?, sponsored by NHI/Shelterforce and NeighborWorks America, provided an in-depth look at the lease-purchase model at a time when developers struggle to find buyers for rehabbed affordable homes. If you missed it, you can hear it here.

The January 12 webinar featured Shelterforce editor Miriam Axel-Lute leading the discussion based on her winter 2010 article. She was joined by Bill Goldsmith of Mercy Housing Inc., in Chicago, Staci Horwitz of City of Lakes Community Land Trust (CCCLT) in Minneapolis, and John O’Callaghan of the Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership, Inc. (ANDP). All speakers were featured in Axel-Lute’s article and all discussed critical elements in implementing a successful lease purchase program.
