Join Emily Francis and Brad Hinkfuss for the third installment in our 2026 webinar series: Innovations in Affordable Housing Finance, an in‑depth look at S3 Housing, a new purpose‑built Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) development in Madison, WI that will create 16 homes for people experiencing chronic homelessness. With financing secured and construction slated to begin in Fall 2026, S3 Housing offers a timely and practical case study for communities seeking to expand affordable housing and PSH capacity through intentional design, integrated services, and Housing First principles.
They will explore how to identify the need for supportive affordable housing, develop a vision for service-enriched housing, and translate that vision into a viable development model. Participants will walk through the core elements of purpose‑built affordable PSH, from site selection and capital stack assembly to building design and the integration of supportive services into daily operations.
By attending this webinar, participants will:
- Understand best practices in Housing First and Permanent Supportive Housing operations
- Learn how to develop a clear vision for purpose‑built PSH that aligns with community needs
- Gain insights into successful strategies for new affordable housing construction, from concept to execution
- Explore design, operational, and service‑integration considerations unique to purpose‑built PSH
- Learn about unique aspects of securing financing and navigating challenges of capital alignment
- Take away lessons learned that can inform similar projects in other communities
This webinar is designed for: affordable and supportive housing developers, homeless service and supportive service providers, architects, designers, and property managers working in affordable and supportive housing.
Join us for tools you can use as we highlight lessons learned, implementation strategies, and opportunities for replication in other communities seeking sustainable, long‑term solutions to homelessness.
