Self-Help's upcoming Impact Talk will focus on innovative strategies to expand and preserve affordable rental housing. We will explore how mission-driven capital can scale solutions in the rental housing sector by examining:
<ul><li>Innovative initiatives across the country providing high-quality, stable housing for low- and moderate-income households</li><li>Strategies for sustaining rent-stabilized housing without overreliance on public subsidy</li><li>Community-centered models&nbsp;in Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) that combat displacement</li><li>Successful partnerships, such as the Nuestra NELA Fund, led by LA Más</li><li>The broader economic mobility and wealth-building potential unlocked through housing stability</li></ul>
Access to safe, stable, and affordable housing remains one of the most urgent challenges facing communities nationwide. Addressing this crisis demands a coordinated ecosystem of capital, partnerships, and community-rooted strategies that span preservation, development, and pathways for long-term housing stability.
This session will provide a platform for thought leaders and practitioners to share diverse, investable approaches to housing affordability, demonstrating how impact-first capital can drive measurable progress and reinforce resilient communities.

Free, comprehensive help navigating senior care options.

Bridgetender Senior Services

My name is Ken Shires, and I live and work right here in Hillsborough and also serving Durham, Chapel Hill, Mebane and Wake Forest. I have made it my mission to help seniors and their families navigate one of life's more meaningful transitions — when living at home begins to feel less safe or manageable than it once did. I know this territory personally. I walked it with my own mother, and more recently with my wife's mom. It is rarely straightforward, and it is almost always emotional. That experience is what led me to become a Certified Senior Transition Specialist. What I offer is comprehensive and completely pro bono — that is, free of charge to you. I can help you: •	Understand the full range of local senior living options and how they differ •	Align personal preferences, needs and budget with the right community •	Know what to ask — and what to notice — when touring •	Anticipate costs and plan for rate increases over time •	Connect with trusted specialists in areas like veterans' benefits, powers-of-attorney, decluttering, and move management. I tour local communities regularly and meet weekly with care experts and professionals across the Triangle. I bring current, firsthand knowledge — not a database. The families I work with tell me they wish they had started the conversation sooner. There is real value in thinking ahead, before circumstances force a rushed decision. I would welcome the chance to sit down with you — no obligation, no pressure, just an open and honest conversation over coffee. If the timing is right, I hope you will reach out.

AI specifically for seniors! Step-by-step, plain English.

Today’s family challenge: “Mom fell, again”…what has been her gradual, physical and cognitive decline had not been noticed, much less anticipated. Is it safe for her to drive? Can she remember to lock the front door? What about the thermostat? Has she taken her meds today? Who can stay with her? When family pitches in, they average 20 hours per week. Solution? Senior living communities answer many important needs: •	Nutrition: 3 meals a day with no dishes to wash. •	Safety: Front door opens into the hallway of the community. Help with meds. •	Transportation: Community provides transportation to medical appointments, shopping and outings. •	Social: Familiar company at meals. A variety of activities including gardening, crafts and music. Which senior living community best fits her needs? Which senior living communities will accept her? Which senior living options are affordable? The average cost of assisted living $5,500 per month. Who pays? (Hint: not Medicare.) What happens to the house? the contents? How best may a family stay informed of her status? Having worked through my mother’s increasing needs in aging and, more recently, those of my wife’s Mom, I assist adult children who, likewise, are realizing their Mom’s capacities are declining and needs are multiplying. More specifically, I am offering to carefully align “Mom’s” individual needs with the variety of senior living options. I am a Senior Transition Specialist and I collaborate with value-based care expert, Tu Tu Cares. I have toured dozens of communities and have friends who are residents. My value-add includes guidance with needs assessment; comparing costs; timing of rate increases; what to ask/notice while touring. I can recommend specialists in powers-of-attorney, guardianship, veterans’ benefits, decluttering and move management. To defray the costs, I can even look at the suitability of expeditiously selling a family home about to be vacated. My services are complimentary.
