Financing Affordable Multi-Family Rental Housing in the U.S. http://classinfo.umn.edu/?PA5290+Spring2017
Class Description:
Financing affordable multifamily housing in the United States is a complicated endeavor that requires more than just a command of financial principles and analysis but also an appreciation for the nuances and fluidity of policy, public-private-partnership and public discourse. This course will demystify the financial drivers and consequences in our affordable housing delivery system.

This course will simultaneously build participants' confidence in basic financial modeling of affordable housing using common capital structures, while also exploring the relationship of finance with policy and regulation, real estate and urban planning objectives, design, and program limitations.

While the course will focus on current US programs, some historical context and occasional discussion of non-US examples will allow participants to understand the evolution of finance and policy in the US and to form a broader view on, and opinion of, our system.

Subject matter of the course will include, but not be limited to: definitions of affordability and target populations; rationale for intervention by government; subsidy and tax incentive programs at Federal, State and Local levels; role and motivations of various actors (government, quasi-governmental, non-profit, for-profit and philanthropic); the power and place of capital subsidies vs. operating subsidies; efficacy of financial tools for social engineering and outcomes.
Class Format:
This course will include a variety of teaching methods to introduce and reinforce concepts and to appeal to different learning styles. These methods will include lectures, guest speakers / panels, class discussion, financial modeling exercises, short essay and opinion papers and an optional site visit.

Class Description:
This course provides an intensive, hands-on experience regarding impact (social) entrepreneurship - to develop a sustainable solution to a global environmental and social problem identified by the student. The target audience is students and student teams who have identified and/or worked on a specific solution and wish to further develop their ideas. This course is offered during the January term as a one-week, full-time (9:00am - 5:30pm) course.

Students must apply to the course (to Fred Rose (rosex122@umn.edu) with a clearly defined problem statement identifying the challenge they aim to address, a target location or community, and a proposed solution that they wish to develop. This idea does not need to be fully developed (see syllabus for more information). We welcome and encourage student teams working on a project to enroll in this class together. Student solutions should address a problem that is about the broadly defined "environment"; examples of applicable areas include clean water, sanitation, energy, air pollution, public health (e.g., malaria), food and agriculture (includes food security and safety), ecosystem services, and aspects of the built environment (e.g., housing). Students do not need to have any specific pre-requisites nor do they need to have any previous business or entrepreneurship courses. Students come from across all majors and degree programs. Students may enter the Acara Challenge, which occurs in March 2016, which will give them a chance to win funding to pilot their idea. More information is at acara.umn.edu and here - http://environment.umn.edu/leadership/acara/courses-programs/courses/ce5572-acara-social-venture-launchpad/

Note: This "extended-term" course does not count towards credits required for financial aid eligibility. For further information, please contact Stacey Grimes (grime004@umn.edu).
