This opinion piece from MarketWatch highlights workforce housing, where impact investors can leverage on to create affordable housing.
Meredith Jones, an alternative-investment consultant and author, writes that affordable housing is an issue that is ripe for impact investing strategies. She adds that with impact investing, an investor can generate an attractive return on investment while simultaneously effecting positive change in the world.
