Building a National Affordable Housing Platform w/Jeffrey Jaeger, Co-Founder of Standard Communities

Building a National Affordable Housing Platform with Jeffrey Jaeger, Co-Founder of Standard Communities. We discuss: • Why affordable housing is the best form of public/private partnership.

• How Jeff and his partner recognized that, after TARP, the federal government can become their largest customer—and built their business accordingly.
• Jeff’s perspective on Los Angeles’ biggest housing challenges, including stagnant wage growth, lack of new housing, and the intersection of homelessness, mental health, and substance abuse.
• How affordable housing construction costs can exceed market rate costs.
