Shelterforce - Veteran Housing Corp suggests that there is STILL A LOT OF WORK TO DO. NOTHING BUT A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE NATION'S GOVERNMENT FINANCED HOUSING PROGRAMS WILL RESOLVE THE NATION'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS
As STAKEHOLDERS in the #affordablehousing space, isn't it our responsibility to present new ideas, innovation, and foster change for the betterment of society and our communities.
My hope is that every #affordablehousing stakeholder will bring this most important issue to light and contact their local, state, and federal housing officials and work to OVERHAUL a broken system
I am not advocating for another government social program, but rather that governments (local, state, and federal) should be responsible when investing taxpayer dollars in program that are meant to serve their constituents. Those programs must provide permanent solutions that pay for themselves.
If you the ultra rich, private developers, for-profit companies or non-profit developers wish to build whatever mixed-use project, affordable-, workforce- or market-rate rent projects, they should be free to do so, but not at taxpayer expense!
The affordable housing crisis facing America is something only new and innovative ideas and solutions will work, not more of the same old way of doing business and wasting trillions in taxpayer supported programs that have failed miserably in the past!
Veteran Housing Corp suggests local, state, and federal governments overhaul the current housing programs and adopt a coordinated VIENNA HOUSING MODEL How We Can Bring Vienna’s Housing Model to the U.S. https://lnkd.in/esjumDf3 via @shelterforce
