Hi John,

With the advent of income averaging for Low Income Housing Tax Credit projects and new funding sources like CalHFA’s Mixed Income Program, more affordable housing projects are including units with income restrictions set above the previous standard of 60% of Area Median Income.

The Issue: These higher-income units present unique challenges to leasing up properties and maintaining targeted occupancy rates.

Join the Emerging Leaders Peer Network (ELPN) for The Challenges of Leasing Up Higher Income Units and How Projects Have Overcome Them, happening Wednesday, August 2 from 12PM-1PM PT on Zoom.

Registration Deadline: Friday, July 28th @ 5PM PT
Is cost an issue? Email Andrew at [email protected]. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds.

🗣️ We’ll hear from leasing, development, and marketing staff as they review how these challenges have manifested, how they’ve planned for them, and what they’ve done to get units leased.

👉 This discussion will provide solutions for project managers, leasing managers, and policymakers as they consider leasing and income targeting for future projects.
