Affordable housing preservation is important to communities and residents alike. The graphic below outlines 5 important elements of why affordable housing preservation makes sense. As a national nonprofit, TDA partners with affordable housing developers to acquire, rehabilitate, and preserve affordable housing developed under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and USDA Rural Development programs that are at risk of aging out of the programs and loss of affordability. TDA focuses on approaches to preserve these communities through long term physical and financial sustainability while emphasizing environmental and energy efficient practices.

The affordable housing crisis is in the news almost daily, impacting Calgarians from all walks of life and in many situations. Over the past two months, I've been working with the team at Alpha House Calgary on a new campaign, "Give Hope Through Housing". The goals are two-fold: ➡ Invite local landlords and property managers to consider partnering with Alpha House's community housing program. There are many supports offered, and doing so literally changes lives. ➡ Inspire Calgarians to be part of the solution by giving to the campaign. Additional funds are needed to help subsidize the rising costs of rents and basic living needs. The campaign aims to secure 20 - 30 units so that Alpha House can house 150 clients in 2024. The fundraising goal is $100,000. Thanks to the Calgary Herald, Calgary Sun, CTV Calgary, CBC, and Newstalk 770 for spotlighting this urgent need. https://lnkd.in/gMf_Bddd Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gaSB4f67 #affordablehousing #yyc #mediarelations

Allegheny County Economic Development is proud to be a part of the 500 in 500 Program, a bold initiative aimed at identifying and providing 500 units of affordable and accessible housing within the next 500 days. Our mission is to move individuals and families out of shelters and into stable, safe housing. Why This Matters: In many markets, high housing costs and low vacancy rates make solving homelessness a daunting challenge. However, Allegheny County is uniquely positioned to tackle this issue head-on. By leveraging our available resources and working together, we can make a significant impact on housing stability in our community. How We Will Achieve This: The 500 in 500 Program will bring together a diverse array of partners, all dedicated to the urgent goal of increasing affordable housing options. We will focus on: ·        Repurposing Existing Buildings: Utilizing structures such as nursing homes, hotels, and former convents to create new housing units. ·        Committed Partners: Action Housing Inc., Brandywine Communities, and Rising Tide Partners have already pledged over 75 units towards this initiative. ·        Funding: ACED has allocated $5.9 million in HOME-ARP funds from the American Rescue Plan Act to increase housing stability. These funds are earmarked for projects currently in development, with additional resources potentially available. A Call to Action: We believe that by aligning our efforts and investments around this common goal, we can achieve remarkable progress on an accelerated timeline. This initiative not only aims to provide immediate housing solutions but also fosters new ways of thinking and working together to address homelessness. Join Us: We invite all stakeholders, community members, and organizations to join us in this transformative journey. By working together, we can make affordable housing a reality for those in need. Sara Innamorato, Allegheny County Executive: "Every major city is struggling with homelessness right now. But with smart policy and collaboration, we can dramatically increase affordable housing options in Allegheny County for people experiencing homelessness.

I’ve just emerged from a great conversation held by Institute For Voluntary Action Research with civil society leaders. The crisis we are facing in my area is clearly felt everywhere. Stories of it never having been this bad – councils cutting services to the bone in the face of bankruptcy, demands on civil society going through the roof, civil society groups closing, funding systems breaking through too much demand, massive delays, some even closing. We urgently need a national plan for civil society renewal from the new government. We need the key bodies NCVO NAVCA Association of Charitable Foundations and others making an immediate case to tackle the severity of this crisis through significant investment. We neither need nor can we wait for any commissions or inquiries. We understand and see the issues on a daily basis. We need independent trusts & foundations to spend their endowments & recognise that their work to achieve change needs to start with the reality in local communities – what they need, what are their priorities & frames. Transformation will start through grassroots action connected at scale to achieve big shifts. Urgent investment in local place with monies held by local communities.
