Webinar: Land Banks – A Foundation for Affordable Housing

Presented on June 28th, 2023

Join us for a webinar on June 28th on Land Banks- A Foundation for Affordable Housing. Land banks are a proven tool to help local and county governments gain control of long-term vacant, abandoned and tax-delinquent properties by conveying them to new owners. Pennsylvania land banks are gaining control of those properties and reactivating them to increase the supply of high-quality affordable homes.

In this webinar, you’ll learn the basics of land banks and hear how vacant lots and blighted properties are being transformed into new and rehabbed affordable housing by and through some of Pennsylvania’s land banks.

Speakers:
Winnie Branton, Founder, Branton Strategies LLC, and Senior Advisor, Pennsylvania Land Bank Network
An Lewis, Executive Director, Tri-COG Land Bank
Brian Lawrence, Executive Director, Westmoreland County Land Bank and Redevelopment Authority
