Usually with local or county government mixed with private funding. They might buy to rehab, buy historic, buy foreclosure to bank community housing stock for low income folks. I think I read there were 2 small cities doing that in PA.

When the price of short-term rentals falls, options will flourish. Banks can't write it all off, people can't afford it all, so government will step in and it won't be federal government with Trump in power and ideologically opposed to anything that helps people.
