The Amazon Effect on Affordable Housing in DC & Region

Amazon has emerged as a key player in Washington, DC affordable housing. Amazon has already provided nearly $1 billion in loans and grants to well-known private and non-profit developers, bridging financing gaps and garnering frequent and positive media attention and praise from local governments.

Join us for an insightful discussion with our expert panelists to explore the impact of Big Tech and corporate philanthropy on housing affordability and the future of public sector programs such as tax credits, grant programs, housing choice vouchers, and Housing Trust Funds. We will also discuss corporate investments in DC projects and the impact of private resources on the city’s housing goals and regional development.
