Whether a development involves affordable housing in urban areas, workforce housing, or the preservation of existing low-income housing, each affordable housing development faces its own unique challenges as it balances priorities within budgetary constraints while navigating a complex web of government regulations.
Creating an adequate supply of ownership and rental housing that is safe, healthy, and affordable to people of all income levels, races, and ages, and suitable for their various needs is not just a matter of pouring concrete, erecting walls, and shingling a roof. Leaders through this process must have a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms and regulations used to develop affordable housing. This work requires a team.
