CHAPA Breakfast Forum

Date:  Monday, July 19, 2010
Time:  9:30am – 11:30am
Location: Suffolk University Law School (120 Tremont St. Boston, MA)

The Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program remains the most important federal program for the development and preservation of affordable rental housing in Massachusetts and throughout the country.  In 2008, the economic recession and turmoil in the financial markets greatly impacted the program, but now more stability is emerging.

Breakfast speakers will address:  trends in the current marketplace among investors, lenders, and developers; the kinds of developments that are getting funded; implementation of the Tax Credit Exchange and Tax Credit Assistance Programs; status of Congressional proposals to improve the program; efforts to enhance the state low income housing tax credit program; challenges still facing developers of affordable housing; and what is likely to happen over the next few years.

Moderator: Susan Schlesinger, President, The Life Initiative and President-Elect of CHAPA

Speakers:

Joseph Flatley, President and CEO, Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation

Jeff Goldstein, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Real Estate, Boston Capital

Laurie Gould, Principal, VIVA Consulting

Kate Racer, Associate Director of Private Housing, Department of Housing and Community Development
