Getting a deal financed is the hardest part of housing development — and for emerging developers, the capital landscape can feel like a maze with no map.

On June 24th, HAC's has invited five practitioners who are experts in real estate finance to break it down: Oyeyinka Oyelaran (Conventus), Melissa Nahm (LIIF), Jan Lindenthal-Cox (SF Housing Accelerator Fund), Eve Goldstein-Siegel (Enterprise), and Eric Relos (Beneficial State Bank). Speakers are to be confirmed.

The panel will be moderated by Delvin Hall of Onyx Equity Partners. The panel will walk through grants, public funding, CDFI lending, private debt and equity, and tax credit syndication — covering when each tool makes sense, what lenders and investors are looking for, and how to set yourself up to access each source.

This is a 60–75 minute moderated discussion with open Q&A, with informal networking to follow. The session will be in person.
