InterFace Conference Investor Panel

ATLANTA — Workforce housing is a hot topic in the multifamily sector. The apartments are designed to serve middle-class renters, with no government subsidies such as tax credits and fewer of the bells and whistles associated with luxury projects. The combination of the spike in the cost of living, elevated interest rates and a low housing supply has made it difficult for middle-income households across the nation to buy or rent housing. Theoretically this means there is a large market to serve by building workforce housing communities. However, while some developers, owners and investors see a world of new opportunities in this sector, others are more skeptical that workforce housing projects can be developed on a larger scale without more support from federal, state and local governments. This was the topic of discussion during a panel titled “Who is building, developing and investing in the Southeast?” at the inaugural InterFace Affordable Housing Southeast conference. The event was held on Thursday, May 9 at the Cobb Galleria Center in Atlanta. France Media’s InterFace Conference Group and Southeast Multifamily & Affordable Housing Business magazine hosted the conference, which drew about 170 industry professionals.  Workforce housing targets the missing middle Workforce housing is designed to …
