In today’s volatile landscape, affordable housing organizations face myriad challenges: inflation, regulatory shifts, political uncertainty, interest rate fluctuations and supply chain disruptions. These uncertainties don't just create obstacles; they can completely derail your mission to provide housing for those who need it most.
Most leaders believe they adequately address risks, but research shows that unstructured, reactive approaches leave organizations vulnerable. Without a comprehensive risk framework, emerging threats can blindside your team before you have time to respond — jeopardizing projects, wasting resources and ultimately impacting your ability to serve your communities.
Transform Your Approach
Our two-part virtual workshop equips you with practical tools to develop strategic risk intelligence that allows your organization to make confident decisions in uncertain environments. Affordable housing leaders will learn how to:
✓ Build a foundational understanding your organization's “crown jewels” that are vital to short- and long-term success
✓ Embed risk management into existing strategic planning and budgeting processes without creating additional work
✓ Effectively communicate key risks to your board and leadership team using a one-page Risk Profile Template
✓ Learn the PESTLE framework for identifying externally emerging risks and the Bow-Tie Risk Response tool to develop preventive and reactive responses to top risks
Workshop participants will leave with immediately applicable frameworks, opportunities to collaborate with peers facing similar challenges and a renewed confidence in navigating uncertainty. Most importantly, you'll strengthen your organization's ability to fulfill its core purpose: making housing attainable for vulnerable populations.
