World Council of Credit Unions to Host Webinar on Housing Affordability

The World Council of Credit Unions is hosting a virtual event, Housing Affordability and Credit Unions – Lessons from Canada to the World, on November 14 at 10:00 am. Your credit union can register to attend this free online event to explore the innovative strategies and partnership opportunities that Canadian credit unions are embarking upon to address rapid increases in home prices.

The webinar will also feature Anthony Piscitelli, Director of the Conestoga Social Innovation Lab, who will discuss the results of a study examining how credit unions can make housing more affordable. The Lab’s report outlines eleven trends for credit unions to consider in their planning including: shared equity, rent-to-own, impact investments, thematic savings products, MLI select, co-ownership mortgages, mortgages for non-traditional homes, Halal mortgages, new cooperative housing, pooled accounts, and grants/donations.
