No one questions the need for more housing and care options to serve the middle-income senior, but sustainable financing models can be a challenge. What creative financing models are operators and developers employing to get deals done and provide badly needed services to this large and growing cohort? For senior housing operators and developers accustomed to private pay models, that may also mean considering capital sources and structures used to serve low-income adults or financing strategies accessed by tax-exempt borrowers. Join this innovation lab to learn how others have been successful in structuring their capital stack and to discuss what financing models might be viable to replicate and scale in a meaningful way.
