OCC and Interagency Council on Homelessness Host Webinar on Bank Financing of Permanent Supportive Housing
WASHINGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the U. S. Interagency Council on Homelessness will host a free live webinar from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. EST on April 25, 2012.

The webinar will draw upon the OCC’s recent newsletter entitled “Ending Homelessness: Funding Permanent Supportive Housing” (http://www.occ.gov/publications/publications-by-type/other-publications-reports/cdi-newsletter/feb-2012/homeless-ezine-table-of-contents.html) and will focus on bank financing for the development of permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness. Bankers will learn from experts how to finance permanent supportive housing by investing in low-income housing tax credits and pre-development loan pools. Community Reinvestment Act consideration and risk mitigation for this type of housing investment will also be discussed.

The webinar provides an opportunity for bankers and other interested parties to interact with OCC, government, and industry experts. Get more information and register online (https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/617784006).
