| A newly-built starter home was once a pathway to the American Dream for hundreds of thousands of first-time home buyers every year. But despite the best efforts of many home builders, entry-level homes account for less than 10 percent of new homes delivered today. State officials — governors, legislators, housing finance agency leaders — are taking this challenge head on: In states across the country, new policies, incentives, and innovations are rolling out to scale up starter home construction. On November 18, join NCSHA and industry leaders at the forefront of this exciting emerging trend for a robust discussion. Register by clicking here.
Agenda | 1:30 – 4:30 pm ET
Session 1 | Financing Lower-Cost Construction
Capital for acquisition, development, and construction of affordable single-family homes from traditional sources has declined significantly in recent years. State HFAs and others are providing financing resources to fill the gap.

Session 2 | Leveraging Land Use and Infrastructure Incentives
State and local policies to enable smaller lots and infill and mixed-use development have big potential impact and broad political appeal. Innovative methods of funding infrastructure tied to entry-level home building are emerging as a catalytic financial incentive.
