From 2016 - 2018, WRAG and Enterprise Community Loan Fund led the Our Region, Your Investment initiative, an effort to bring new capital to the region’s growing housing affordability crisis. This initiative ended up raising over $12 million in investments to help preserve or produce over 650 housing units around the region.

In this 30-minute webinar, you will learn how local philanthropists, foundations, and businesses are once again coming together to help increase the supply of deeply affordable and supportive housing as part of the Partnership to End Homelessness, led by the Greater Washington Community Foundation. The Community Foundation has teamed up with Enterprise Community Loan Fund, Inc. (ECLF) to help build and preserve housing units for hundreds of people across the region. ECLF will discuss how impact investing is an innovative strategy to address the affordable housing shortage and help create more thriving, equitable, and enriching communities.
