Employer-Assisted Housing: Online Discussion, Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. ET
The workplace presents a promising venue for promoting homeownership
because of the regular contact between the mainstream economy and
low-income, low-asset workers. Across the country, employers, unions,
and state and local governments are partnering with homeownership
counseling agencies and offering financial incentives to encourage
employees to achieve the dream of homeownership. Varying business
imperatives result in a range of strategies and approaches.
Join Esther Park, fund advisor to the National Community Investment
Fund; Jon Zimmer, executive director of ACTION Housing in Pittsburgh, a
counseling provider that has teamed up with a university hospital
system; and Mark Wilburn, chief lending officer at 66 Federal Credit
Union, which provides housing benefits to Tyson Foods employees, on
Monday, Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. ET for a KnowledgePlex (www.knowledgeplex.org
<http://www.knowledgeplex.org/> ) online discussion. Hear how employers
and counseling agencies are promoting homeownership, simultaneously
improving the financial prospects for low-income consumers, companies,
and the communities in which they do business.
