Keeping Residents in Their Homes: A GOPC-Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Webinar Series

A FREE four-part webinar series hosted by Greater Ohio Policy Center in partnership with the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.

Please join the Greater Ohio Policy Center and Lincoln Institute of Land Policy for a four-part webinar series highlighting timely strategies for preserving neighborhood stability in response to the Coronavirus pandemic.  These webinars will be held on Tuesdays in January and February.

ABOUT: The Covid-19 crisis removed an already thin veil obscuring the slim line between housing security and insecurity for many Americans.  This dynamic is particularly true for many extremely cost-burdened residents of America’s legacy cities.  Rising unemployment, low-wage jobs, and limited new employment opportunities mean that residents who were formerly “just getting by” are now at risk of losing their housing. 

This webinar series explores strategies for preserving neighborhood stability in small, medium and large legacy cities.  Strategies will focus on steps philanthropy, mission-driven developers, and local governments can take to promote housing and neighborhood stability.

AICP CREDIT: AICP accreditation is available for participation in this webinar.  Please click here to register for accreditation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: For detailed speaker bios, more information on speaker topics, and updates on AICP credits, please check out our website.  The website will also house recordings after the webinars are complete.
