Veteran Housing Corp says that IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A PERMANENT AND LASTING SOLUTION TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESSNESS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

Great article about the role of Community Land Trusts (CLTs) in advancing home ownership and access to intergenerational wealth for all. #realestate #housingcrisis #affordablehousing #racialequity #wealthgap
"A growing number of community land trusts (CLTs) and shared equity programs throughout the country are responding to the escalating affordability crisis by providing and stewarding opportunities for housing with lasting affordability. At least 314 organizations have developed an estimated over 15,000 homeownership units with lasting affordability, and nearly half of shared equity homeowners are people of color." https://buff.ly/3I7a0mw

Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver partners with various organizations that also advocate for affordable homeownership, like Enterprise Community Partners.

Did you know that June is National Homeownership month? At Habitat, we believe that everyone deserves a place to call home and we celebrate #affordablehousing at every level. Unfortunately, market-rate housing has become unaffordable for too many working class families, service workers, even our first responders. Homeownership is pivotal to community prosperity, offering increased neighborhood stability, lower crime rates, improved health and education for children, and heightened civic engagement. A family investing in a home is simultaneously investing in their community’s growth. Habitat for Humanity’s model exemplifies the transformative power of collaboration. Offering a hand up, not a handout, Habitat provides homes that are much more than structures; they symbolize hope and opportunity. Affordable housing can’t wait; the time is now. Let’s give #Arizona a hand up! Learn more at habitatcaz.org #habitatcaz #HabitatforHumanity #homeownership

Indeed, in all our work, we are pushing for funds to take land off the speculative market and increase the number of units in land trusts—this is a way to maintain community ownership and prevent displacement even as new development occurs. This is what we mean by pursuing “development without displacement.” Land trusts, especially through community ownership of scattered sites and smaller buildings, are a key tool that can contain displacement and gentrification.
