Colorado Concern’s Post

Most #MobileHomePark residents are SCARED 👻 when their community sells BECAUSE OF THIS: 🙅♂️😱😳 ⚠️ The possibility they lose their mobile homes entirely due to redevelopment of the trailer park… ⚠️⛔️ Most aren’t worried about the RENT INCREASES! 💯 Rents have to go up as expenses like property taxes and insurance costs go up- it’s normalized. 🎯 Beyond popular belief RENT INCREASES and new MANAGEMENT are NOT the BIGGEST CONCERN! 🤨 Redevelopment of mobile home parks REDUCES much needed AFFORDABLE HOUSING! Let’s fix them up instead! ❤️💡 #mobilehomeparkinvesting #trailerparkinvesting #valueaddtrailerparks #affordablehousing #preserveaffordablehousing https://lnkd.in/ehbfeCMX

There is talk everywhere about the need for more affordable housing at the local, state, and federal level. There is clearly a need, but what is affordable housing? Benjamin Lockwood, President & CEO of Housing Visions Unlimited, Inc explains in our latest CNY Vitals blog!

Congratulations to CCRC-financed development Cornerstone Sacramento! Sacramento Business Journal has named Cornerstone Sacramento one of the Best Real Estate Projects of 2024, citing the creativity of its development and positive effect on the community. With the multifamily units partially funded by CCRC, Cornerstone was built as a partnership between Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento and Mutual Housing California. 108 affordable rental units and 18 Habitat homes will provide much-needed support to vulnerable Californians in Sacramento. The level of economic resilience that is provided when intense rent burdens are taken off the backs of low-income households strengthens individuals and communities alike. Beyond awards, Cornerstone Sacramento embodies a vision for California’s future—one where creative, intuitive living communities are designed with inclusivity and sustainability in mind. This development serves as a model for the kind of thoughtful development that will uplift and empower diverse populations across the state, while promoting long-term growth and well-being. CCRC remains committed to that future. #affordablehousing #CornerstoneSacramento https://lnkd.in/gr8igzVy

The antithesis of Jane Jacobs This is an absolute DISASTRE for heritage buildings in Calgary. A huge economic disincentive is being created to redevelop vs retain (heritage )- its is so obvious . Why would anyone (apart from some charitable souls) keep a heritage building when it’s more economically attractive to redevelop than retain ?! The group-think among so-called “progressives” in Calgary is off the charts - and the City Planning department has less creativity to deal with this than the chickens I used to have. Blanket rezone -wow that’s creative . Without mitigation strategy to make it economically equivalent to retain a Heritage property as to redevelop it , this will be a disaster. The city makes mistakes constantly and repeatedly . It upzoned bridgeland in the 1970s and saw the community empty of owner occupants and huge disinvestment - so it had to change course and downzoned again . The 2008 Hillhurst Sunnyside ARP was a huge boondoggle - upzone parts of heritage community without any mitigation strategy . Heritage has been lost and will continue to. . Either create proper mitigation tools for heritage or leave inner city alone . BTW will be bad for affordability too - many older properties are broken into multi units and is cheap housing Bad, bad , bad

The affordable housing crisis is a national public health issue and we need all sectors of government to adequately address the problem to ensure that everyone has equitable access to safe, secure, and quality housing as housing is a social determinant of health.

YIGBY- Yes in God's Backyard. This is an important policy approach Atlanta needs to support. Andre Dickens's administration has done a great job reaching out to faith institutions to help them with technical guidance around providing affordable housing on their land. But here's the radical idea- let's actually make it LEGAL for faith institutions to provide this housing without a lengthy and costly public approval process. Let's update our zoning to let these institutions be able to legally provide housing AS-OF-RIGHT. Durham, NC recently passed legislation that essentially allows unlimited ADUs on church land. There's an interesting project percolating on the Westside that speaks to the possibilities of how this could be done. https://lnkd.in/eQu8_G9T
