How You Can Help Fix America’s Affordable Housing Crisis – Originally Published in Forbes

 

housing crisisEvery day across America, individuals and families are looking for clean, safe houses and apartments that are affordable, a term the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development defines as “housing for which the occupant(s) is/are paying no more than 30 percent of his or her income for gross housing costs, including utilities.” Homes that are affordable are a necessary and tangible asset for any adult or family to survive and thrive, but there simply aren’t enough of them to go around.

Federal Reserve findings indicate a growing percentage of renters are either cost-burdened or extremely cost-burdened by rising rents and stagnating incomes. The Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS) of Harvard University published a 2017 study that found more than one-third of U.S. households were rental units. The research further suggests that overall household growth will be strong over the next decade as larger numbers of the extremely large millennial generation move out on their own — therefore pushing the number of households in our country, higher.

So what can we do? Eddie Lorin, Member of the Forbes Real Estate Council, presents to ForbesCommunityVoice readers a few ways we can help fix the housing affordability crisis (and potentially earn financial returns along the way).

Since the jobs act of 2012, there have been many changes to securities laws. One of these changes has resulted in companies being able to raise capital through non accredited investors without going through the entire IPO process. The rule is called Reg A+ and although it is relatively new to the real estate sector many companies are utilizing the Reg A process to raise capital.

In this episode we discuss…

-What the whole Reg A+ process has been like
-The costs associated with the Reg A+ process
-The time associated with the Reg A+ process
-The key takeaways that our guest has learned by going through the Reg A+ process

Impact at USC’s Price School of Social Innovation Annual Summit

USC’s Price School of Social Innovation’s Annual Summit Sponsored by Eddie and Jane Lorin https://www.uscsocialinnovationsummit.com

Eddie and Jane Lorin sponsored USC’s Price School of Social Innovation’s Annual Summit held Friday, April 27, 2018. Over 150 people in attendance included city agencies and key stakeholders in Los Angeles  covering non-profits providing services, Foundations, Donors, Developers and Educators. The agenda included panels titled “Housing the Workforce,” “Innovations to Increase the Affordable Housing Stock” and “Innovations to House the Homeless.”

The attendees broke into 15 groups in a workshop format to brainstorm solutions given 3 case studies. The format of the summit promoted great collaboration and a positive experience was enjoyed by all.

At the all day event, Lorin announced the first “NOAH” project (Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing) in conjunction with the City of Los Angeles which will take an existing 1920s apartment building in the East Hollywood district of Los Angeles and deem 50% of the property affordable in exchange for a property tax abatement.

These affordable units are anticipated to be reserved for supportive housing for the homeless with services and social work provided by the 20 year old non profit People Concern http://www.thepeopleconcern.org,  Health and Wellness programming on site at the property will be provided by the non-profit HAPI (Healthy Apartment Property Initiative founded in 2013 by the Lorins) which focuses on food insecurity and education https://www.hapiapts.org.

NOAH is an innovative concept Lorin proposed to the Los Angeles Housing + Community Investment Department (HCIDLA) in 2016 in order to pilot a Public/Private Impact Investment to provide another unique solution to the housing crisis.

By purchasing existing assets and deeming them affordable, the NIMBY (not in my backyard) deterrent to new development is eliminated along with the purchase of existing older properties costs as low as 40% of the replacement cost to build new. Lorin says he is pleased to be the first to launch this concept because “it just makes common sense.” Housing can be relatively immediate versus the 3 years it takes to build new.

 

Jane and Eddie Lorin are relentless in their pursuit to create new innovations to solve the housing crisis like NOAH. They have also sponsored the “Jane and Eddie Lorin Fellowship for innovative low income housing solutions” at USC’s Price School. The Fellowship will promote a competition for the most creative and inventive ideas for affordable housing.

Impact Insider: Meet Eddie Lorin, Impact Real Estate Investor and Entrepreneur

Last week we detailed the impressive track record of our Sponsor, Strategic Realty Holdings (SRH). This week we’re here to unveil the visionary and leader behind all that success – Eddie Lorin, its Founder.

Eddie is a 30-year real estate veteran, an expert in value-add multifamily, a proven social impact real estate investor and a champion of safe, affordable housing for all Americans. Since 2001, his team has successfully purchased and transformed more than $3 Billion worth of multifamily real estate (acting as either Principal or Advisor) amounting to more than 180 communities with approximately 40,000 apartment units nationwide.

Eddie, since a young age, has been a dreamer, a doer and a proponent of the underdog. As one of four boys raised by a single mother in Southern California, Eddie grew up with modest means in an apartment community not dissimilar from the neglected communities he now purchases and revitalizes. Eddie believes that affordable housing should not be a privilege for the wealthy, but rather a right for everyone. He made it his life mission to make safe, quality housing affordable and accessible to all Americans.

Longtime impact investors and philanthropists, Eddie and his lovely wife Jane founded Healthy Apartment Property Initiative (HAPI), a 501C3 non-profit in 2013 that “builds community through health” by bringing health-related education, fitness, gardening, and nutrition programs directly to the doorsteps of residents living in lower income apartment communities. Hapi offers efficient, low-cost, high-reward customized programming to cater to each specific community’s needs, whether it is a senior, toddler, or school age population. Hapi programming is a key ingredient in the performance of SRH and Impact Housing REIT’s properties and delivery of ‘triple bottom line’ returns to investors.

As an impact real estate expert, Eddie has featured on and interviewed by leading industry experts and media including Cashflow Ninja w/ M.C. Laubscher, Wealth Formula w/ Buck Joffrey, The Sure Investing Podcast, Michael Blank’s Apartment Building Investing Podcast, Best Ever Real Estate Investing Advice w/ Joe Fairless, Wheelbarrow Profits w/ Jake & Gino, Take a Knee w/ Adam Carolla, Flipping America, American Dream TV and more.

Eddie is a member of the Mission Investors Exchange, SOCAP, National Multifamily Housing Council, National Apartment Association, and Jewish Funders Network. Most recently, he became an Official Member of the Forbes Real Estate Council and will soon be a Contributor to Forbes.
