So you want to build affordable housing in your community — to create opportunity, close the housing gap, and make lasting change. But is your organization ready to do that? Navigate: Housing Unlocked explores what it really takes to turn community vision into action.
Each episode focuses on local, community-based housing outcomes in Alabama and neighboring regions. We’re sharing practical field insights, not statewide or national policy guidance. Our goal is to help nonprofits, community development corporations (CDCs), and mission-driven leaders understand the how behind building capacity, securing funding, and executing successful housing projects.
Get expert insight from industry leaders who’ve been on both sides of the process — from banking and finance to housing development and municipal partnerships. You’ll learn how to structure your organization, attract funders, manage compliance, and measure real impact in the neighborhoods you serve.
Because in affordable housing, capacity comes before capital — and knowledge is the key to unlocking both.
Watch or listen to new episodes of Navigate: Housing Unlocked to gain practical tools, clear direction, and inspiration for building stronger, more equitable communities.
