Acquiring and rehabbing or building single-family homes can often cost more than the property's updated market value. Closing this appraisal gap to develop single-family homes could help change the landscape of historically disinvested neighborhoods and provide opportunities for affordable homeownership and wealth-building. But how would that work?

Join members of the Neighborhood Homes Coalition in a discussion with community developers about this innovative legislation introduced by Senator Rob Portman and co-sponsored by Senator Sherrod Brown. These practitioners will share the challenges they face overcoming the appraisal gap in their markets and how they hope to leverage this federal legislative proposal and proposed targeted tax credit to scale up and broaden the reach of their equitable community development work.
