The economic impacts of affordable housing are clear as shown by Mountainlands Community Housing Trust's study revealed in their event earlier this week. 🚘️ 🏘️ More affordable housing would limit commuting, which would reduce traffic and the need for new parking structures; it would bring in more state funding for schools; and increase local spending, sales, and property taxes for the county. The return on investment into affordable housing is estimated to be more than 5 times. 📰 Read the KPCW article to learn more about the positive impacts of affordable housing: https://lnkd.in/e3zc4mRT

The work done to develop cooperatives is one of the MOST important things a 501c3 can do. Ending Generational cycles of poverty is one of the most prudent and necessary missions to pursue. HUDs HCV program has been here for decades and yet so many public agencies fail to make these homeownership cooperatives possible.

The Orange County Affordable Housing Coalition, of which CHT is a member, is circulating a petition to Chapel Hill Town Council to put a $50 million affordable housing bond on this year's ballot. If you want to learn more about the bond goal and consider adding your name to the petition, please visit https://lnkd.in/dUD9Qcvn and share with your friends and neighbors, too! Whether you live, work, play, or pray in Chapel Hill, if you have an interest in making sure folks can afford to live here, you can sign the petition (resident or not)! A comment from one person who signed yesterday really sums up the need: "The only reason I'm able to own my home in Chapel Hill is because I happened to buy it several years ago. I would not be able to afford to live here if I were looking for a place to rent or buy now. Without living near people from all backgrounds and incomes, our community is impoverished and my children grow up without knowing and playing with people who are different than them. In addition, affordable housing is important for the environment---to reduce the greenhouse gases that come from folks who work in this community commuting."

Bloom Housing is focused on increasing access to affordable housing. But there is the very real question: how do we increase access if there isn't enough affordable housing? And, when there is so much demand for comparatively little available affordable housing, how are residents selected? My team and I spent the past several months (and years) trying to understand these questions and their answers more deeply by researching lotteries within the affordable housing space. Many areas of the U.S. are making the shift to housing lotteries because they're believed to be more equitable, offering every applicant, regardless of available time or the resources available to them, a fairer chance at housing. ✍ I wrote about this research and what we learned from our partners in a new article on Bloom Housing's blog.
