Across New England, cities and towns are striving to expand housing affordability without discouraging private investment. This webinar invited housing experts and planners to explore creative alternatives for inclusionary zoning, looking at innovative models that incentivize affordable housing development.

Director of Housing Finance for Chattanooga, TN, Hanneke Van Dursen shared how the city reimagined its Payment in Lieu of Tax (PILOT) program to incentivize mixed-income development. Attendees also learned about Invest Chattanooga, a public enterprise to mobilize local capital and public-private partnerships to invest in the city’s affordable housing.
