North Carolina Affordable Housing Conference

Don’t miss “Housing Works,” the 2009 North Carolina Affordable Housing Conference!

The North Carolina Housing Coalition, the Community Investment Corporation of the Carolinas, and the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency will offer the state’s most comprehensive housing conference this year — all focusing on the exemplary work of affordable housing and how that housing works for North Carolina’s families, communities, and economy. The conference will be November 3 and 4, 2009, at the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, NC.

With financial turmoil remaking housing finance, get insights for the future from one of the country’s foremost minds on affordable housing. David Smith is the founder or Affordable Housing Institute, an international nonprofit specializing in program design and development, and CEO of Recap Advisors, one of the nation’s experts in the finance, restructuring, and asset management of multifamily residential properties.

Hear an update on how stimulus dollars are being used in North Carolina to stabilize neighborhoods, prevent homelessness and improve energy efficiency. And get hands-on training in sessions on various topics, including communication tools to counter NIMBY, innovative CRA opportunities, veterans housing, energy-efficient rehab and repair, manufactured housing, and FHLB Atlanta community development programs. The annual tax credit developer workshop will also be offered.

For the first time, a special tract will be offered for housing counselors that will provide information on foreclosure prevention resources and on new ways to create successful homeowners and help clients with credit issues.

The highlight of the Tuesday Luncheon will be the presentation of the 2009 Housing North Carolina Awards, recognizing the state’s most outstanding recent rental, home ownership and supportive housing developments. Sponsored for 20 years by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency, the annual competition is sure to spark new ideas.

The North Carolina Housing Coalition will hold its Annual Legislative and Advocacy Awards Luncheon Wednesday. The Housing Coalition will be presenting its 2009 Board of Directors as well as its Volunteer of the Year, Legislator of the Year, and Professional of the Year Awards.

The fee for the conference is $145. If you are a member of the N.C. Housing Coalition, the Coalition is providing a reduced registration rate of $125. Registration and fees must be received on or before October 14.  For registrations received after October 14, the fee will be $165; N.C. Housing Coalition members will pay $145.

Conference Hosts

Community Investment Corporation of the Carolinas (CICCAR)
In December 1990, in an effort to address the shortage of affordable housing in North Carolina, the North Carolina Bankers Association formed Community Investment Corporation of North Carolina (CICNC). In June 2007, CICNC became Community Investment Corporation of the Carolinas (CICCAR).  CICCAR is an affordable housing loan consortium whose mission is to provide long-term, permanent financing for the development of low- to moderate-income multifamily, special needs and elderly housing in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.  CICCAR has committed and/or funded financing totaling approximately $172 million for 215 affordable housing developments, producing over 10,000 units of affordable housing.

North Carolina Housing Coalition
The North Carolina Housing Coalition (NCHC) is a private, nonprofit membership organization working for decent, safe, and affordable housing that promotes self-determination and stable communities for low- and moderate-income North Carolinians.  Formed in 1988, our mission is to lead a campaign for housing to ensure that working families, people in crisis, seniors, and persons with disabilities may live with dignity and opportunity.  This mission is supported through three primary roles: as a resource and referral network for individuals looking for housing assistance and for organizations looking for information; as a clearinghouse for best practices, research and data on housing issues in North Carolina; and engaging and empowering people in advocacy to improve housing policy-making.  NCHC works on a wide variety of issues including: increasing funding for the N.C. Housing Trust Fund, foreclosure prevention, consumer protection, manufactured housing, Fair Housing, housing and services for persons with disabilities, ending homelessness, inclusionary housing efforts, transit-oriented development, federal funding of the National Housing Trust Fund, Section 8 and other important HUD and USDA housing programs, and entry-level homeownership.

North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency’s mission is to create affordable housing opportunities for North Carolinians whose needs are not met by the market. A self-supporting public agency, the Agency provides financing through the sale of tax-exempt bonds and management of federal and state tax credit programs, the federal HOME Program, the state Housing Trust Fund, and other programs. The Agency offers low-cost mortgages for first-time buyers, finances the development of affordable apartments and homes, as well as special-needs housing, and finances rehab and emergency repairs of owner-occupied homes. Since its creation in 1973 by the General Assembly, the Agency has financed 191,000 affordable homes and apartments, totaling $11.7 billion.
