What a amazing and eye opening discussion about affordable housing in the City of Pittsburgh. It was great to hear from this distinguished panel about what is being done to help and what is needed. #pittsburghbusinesstimes. #bridgetoequity.

I learned a staggering statistic today... Almost three quarters of your single co-workers could qualify to live in #AffordableHousing in #Nashville. Per the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, 72% of Nashville's workforce earns $60,000/yr. The overwhelming majority of affordable housing programs require units to be restricted to serve folks earning 80% of area median income (AMI) or less. A 1-person household living in an 80% AMI restricted unit can earn $59,920/year and still qualify for an affordable housing unit. To put it simply: People you know, work with, and love qualify to live in affordable housing. We're not building enough of it, and these same people are struggling because of it. Support affordable housing and more financing tools to build and preserve more of it. Our city and your #business and co-workers are depending on it. Learn more here:

The state of affordable housing in DC shows that we need 250,000 units affordable to those making less than $80K a year in the next 7 years to keep up with the DC-region's rapid growth.

WHC is proudly celebrating five years of creating and preserving affordable, quality housing in neighborhoods that can expand opportunity, but our work is far from done. #housingaffordability #affordablehousing #preserveaffordability

More Affordable Housing much needed.

As a lead up to the #BuildingMichiganCommunitiesConference, we want to highlight the data behind the need for affordable housing in Michigan. In Michigan, nearly 40% of households are struggling to afford basic needs, with a significant portion burdened by housing costs. As a construction manager serving #affordablehousing, we are committed to focusing on innovative housing solutions that prioritize affordability. #MichiganHousing #AffordableLiving #MSHDA #BMCC2024

Santosh George, ASLA, MLA thank you for the invitation to speak tonight with the Greater Dallas Planning Council on housing challenges within the Dallas / Fort Worth area. What a great panel including John Schrader, Amruta Sakalker, PhD, Dr. Sana Syed and Gus Khankarli. A couple of takeaways: 1) We are growing from 8 to 11 million people in DFW by 2035. Most of the growth will happen on the far suburban edges making it critical for these areas to have dense mixed-use employment centers to help offset traffic. 2) Creating middle - missing housing is hard, remove the obstacles like parking requirements and costly permit fees. 3) Education - Education - Education, at all levels to have people understand that density is good for everyone. That density can be in the form of smaller middle missing housing to higher mixed-use buildings. 4) Roads define what can physically happen in development. Current standards are very suburban and support cars, only. We need to flip the switch and change to more context driven complete streets to force development to engage the streets in urban placemaking, not parking lots and backs of homes. 5) Many people are excited about Forward Dallas Lawrence Agu III, AICP, Assoc AIA and the vision it is giving residents to have voice in shaping policy and planning in the city. It is important to have these discussions and challenge ourselves to work for creative housing policy and development to make our cities beautiful places for residents to live and enjoy.

The solution to housing affordability is quite simple. Building more housing in all areas and across all levels. Today, Los Angeles ranks #1 as the most unaffordable city in the nation. FNX Development is committed to creating affordable housing options and contributing to a brighter future for our community. #HousingCrisis #AffordableHousing #FNXDevelopment

Proud to be a member supporting the #DallasHousingCoalition. #SmartCityTexas has the solution to the housing crisis and it’s really not that hard to wrap your brain around. In Industrial and commercial facilities globally they are universally all made with 2 things. Steel and concrete. We can use both at scale inside this metroplex with 150,000 vacant lots and an average age of housing stock over 40. There is a better way, a Safe/Smart way a United Way on how we can move forward at once. Factory constructed wall paneling systems based upon the Japanese method have been in production. Of modular housing since the early 70s. There it’s called Smart Housing, Smart City Texas calls it SAFE/smart. A smarter way to construct housing that is sustainable, attainable, resilient, and made from United States recycled Steel. That is the return on investment needed. A house that is Steel , with nearly zero wood products accept on finishes will lower insurance costs as there will be far less claims to be made against water damages and mold , galvanized steel does not rust , it’s rot proof, waterproof and fireproof. It is human proof. And perfect way to manufacture 5000 units per year for here in DFW. Houses that will last 100 years .
