Beyond Bricks:  The New Economy for Affordable Housing Providers June 21st 

“Clean, safe affordable housing anchors healthy communities, and housing sector is 

uniquely situated to serve as the base from which other quality‐of‐life services are built and delivered.”  Back by popular demand,  Dione Alexander, VP, Nonprofit Finance Fund (2011 keynote speaker) will provide a one day workshop          specifically designed to help you re‐conceptualize your organization in today’s economy.   

Beyond Bricks is an interactive session designed to guide affordable housing providers through an assessment of both the impact and profitability of their programming and frame strategies and scenarios to address the capital and capacity needed to achieve their aspirations for change and growth.   

  Highlights of the Day:   "I Am From" (an exercise in storytelling) All organizations need a way to frame their story that is less about the technical or      statistical achievement and more about the compelling ways in which lives and          communities are affected.  Mission drives motives; reconnecting with why you as an  organization exist is the first step in planning for the future.  

Impact Assessment Participants will build a matrix that plots their core activities in terms of impact and profitability and will develop some strategies and scenarios for contracting, expanding, or changing programming to both strengthen their organization and their community.  

Case Study Participants will be led in a case study exercise and dialogue that focuses on an afforda‐ble housing provider that substantially changed its business model.  The case study will also  provide opportunity to learn and share information about new tools and               resources in the  industry.   

Ready to shift to a more integrated system of  community development? Register today!
