SUMMARY:Supporting Shared Equity & CLTs with SHIP
DESCRIPTION:Over the last few years\, the homeownership affordability gap has turned into an canyon with no bridge. As a result\, supporting the creation of a stock of permanently affordable homes is becoming a top priority for many local government staff.
