Method of Instruction In-Person
Course Description This course will provide an overview of the community development industry. Tracing the evolution from a nascent movement to organize blighted inner-city neighborhoods to today's multi-billion dollar industry, the course will examine how community development happens, the way communities set development priorities, the financial tools used to accomplish projects, and how key partners interact. The course will explore how affordable housing, health care, schools, childcare, and retail development projects interact to turn neglected neighborhoods into communities of choice. The level of financial and underwriting analysis will not require previous real estate finance experience. Particular attention will be paid to the role of community development corporations, community development financial institutions, direct public subsidies, and the role of banks and the Community Reinvestment Act.
