In 2015, Kresge formalized its focus on place-based community development outside of Detroit by forming the American Cities Practice and signified the foundation's commitment to building opportunity in places across the country. The Practice, which later became the American Cities Program, was instrumental in expanding Kresge’s community development work to the focus cities of New Orleans, Memphis and Fresno.

We are hiring! Please reach out if you want to be part of a fantastic early-stage startup.
Now that I have been to a few gatherings where the conversation about "how AI can help housing and community finance" has gone in many different directions, from - trepidation to fear to excitement. As someone who knows a little bit more about this space, I should put a stake in the ground and say what is obvious to me. Housing finance needs all the help it can get, especially at state, city, and local governmental authorities, who have been given the tough job of creating affordability and supply through policy and housing finance and bringing public money to private developers, and having an impact on overall housing supply crises. We need AI to take on the repetitive tasks like - 1. Explain QAPs, answer questions on loan programs, 2. Train staff as well as free them up to do higher-level creative jobs 3. Onboard large amounts of data sets 4. Compare and contrast data sets 5. Do underwriting analyses 6. Create standardization across various organizations This will all ultimately help us build a robust ecosystem around housing finance. I am convinced that we can use AI creatively to have a significant NET POSITIVE IMPACT on housing finance.
📢 "Don't let the noise distract you from the opportunities." Our founder, Kanan Ajmera spoke today at the U.S. Housing & Community Development Conference & Expo in Texas, on what opportunities AI innovation presents for the housing industry and how we should be embracing it. Next up, we will be at the National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA) Credit Connect in Atlanta on June 10th. If you would like us to attend a conference near you, drop us a line!
