National Housing Conference’s Post

“What I see is that there was a broad range of affordable housing available to my mother, and that’s not what we’re seeing today. We don’t see folks building entry-level affordable housing, we’re no longer building public housing, and when we do see tax credit deals, which I think is the backbone of affordable housing in this nation, oftentimes those tax credit deals are in concentrated areas of poverty, because that’s where the cheapest land is. And so, we have set up a system that doesn’t necessarily support a broad range of affordable housing.” Such a great conversation with David Dworkin of National Housing Conference on Beyond Four Walls about creating comprehensive, community-oriented solutions to the housing crisis. Directing resources to the unmet need and balancing affordable housing preservation and homeless prevention with affordable housing production is indispensable to the autonomy and mobility of our most vulnerable populations.
