Affordable housing presents a critical challenge, especially in emerging markets. Here, access to traditional financing methods is often limited. But what if cutting-edge technology offered a solution? We’re exploring this in Episode 4 of our Affordable Housing miniseries. Specifically, we delve into blockchain’s impact on affordable housing finance.

Many people associate blockchain primarily with crypto and NFTs. However, its potential stretches far wider. In this episode, we sit down with Glen Jordan, a leading blockchain expert and CEO of Empowa. Together, we explore a truly revolutionary question: Can blockchain technology fundamentally change how we finance affordable housing?
