As the first anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act approaches in August, we talk to Enterprise VP of Building Resilient Futures Krista Egger about what this landmark climate law means to the affordable housing sector.

Six months after the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, efforts are underway to ensure that affordable multifamily housing will have pathways to benefit from this historic legislation. Enterprise Community Partners and others in affordable housing continue to work to shape the programs authorized by the IRA through public comment submissions, and through tracking updates and new guidance as it becomes available.
Enterprise (with its collaborator, Local Initiatives Support Coalition) is managing the development of a book of original essays that will focus on the alignment of climate change and community development.
