Modern Methods of Construction

The Modern Construction Methods Webinar Series will showcase construction approaches that are already being used or have strong potential for use in the non-profit housing sector. The goal of the series is to equip providers with potential ideas to build and renew affordable housing faster as well as more sustainable, climate resilient, and cost-effective. Each webinar will pair an industry expert presentation with a non-profit case study to highlight different Modern Methods of Construction and explore the successes, challenges, and lessons learned for each method in the context of the non-profit housing sector. The series is intended to introduce modern methods of construction rather than promote any specific approach. Participants will need to conduct additional investigation to determine whether a particular method is appropriate for their projects and organizational context.

Innovative Capital to Fund New Construction and Renewals

Join us for another session in the Modern Methods of Construction series: Innovative Capital to Fund New Construction and Renewals.

This webinar explores emerging capital models that help non‑profit housing providers fund new construction and major renewals. Participants will learn how partnership‑based financing such as private/non‑profit collaborations can unlock new development opportunities and make complex projects financially viable. Real‑world examples will highlight how innovative funding approaches are being used to deliver new affordable homes.
