2025 Rural Housing Preservation Academy
Enterprise Community Partners is hosting two days of conversation about Affordable housing development and preservation in Knoxville, Tennessee. This in-person convening is an extension of the Rural Rental Preservation Academy and will focus on policies, funding, and innovative strategies to address rural affordability at the federal, state, and local level.
Day One will feature presentations on successful approaches to preserving affordable housing in rural communities across the country, with a particular focus on the preservation of the USDA 515 portfolio. There will be a focus on layering new financing into preservation projects and national policy efforts to support the preservation of the USDA housing portfolio.
Day Two will focus on policy, research and programs in the Appalachian region that support affordable housing development and preservation in rural communities. Attendees will engage in discussions about the challenges, opportunities and innovations in addressing rural affordability at the regional, state and local levels.
