Putting the Pieces Together for Hotel and Real Estate Conversion to Housing
CSH offers guidance and tools on how states, counties, and cities can successfully acquire and convert hotels, motels and other available residential and commercial properties into affordable and supportive housing by using existing state resources and/or federal funding.
Meeting the Moment
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, states and communities across the country face a historic moment and opportunity to improve the lives of their most vulnerable residents.
As communities went into lockdown, people experiencing homelessness and those in institutional settings had no homes to seek refuge. Many communities relocated them into temporary places such as motels and hotels as part of their quarantine strategy and to reduce density in congregate settings.
Now, as communities emerge from the pandemic, creating new housing units and preserving existing housing inventories is crucial for increasing access to affordable and supportive housing. We are at a critical inflection point to meet both immediate response needs for isolation units and the current urgent need.
From Hotel to Home Webinar Series
The CSH From Hotel to Home webinar series sponsored by Capital One offers various guidance and tools.
