Our upcoming webinar is all about affordable housing engagement, and we know this is a big topic for many players in the CRE industry. Looking forward to sharing our steps to combatting NIMBYism and building more needed housing!
As community debates around affordable and supportive housing have become increasingly contentious, developers have had to develop new strategies for overcoming biases and building the critical support needed for project approvals. Join project leaders from McCormack Baron Companies, BRIDGE Housing Corporation, and Mission First Housing Group to discuss how they activated more positive conversations and new opportunities with the rise of NIMBYism. If you’re unable to attend the live webinar on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 1pm EST, register and we’ll send you the recording afterwards. Feel free to invite your colleagues! https://lnkd.in/gs-KZQ8m

This was fun. 2% of the public trust property developers (according to some) I haven’t met many developers who loved the planners. And I’m sure that cuts both ways. Solving for the productivity crisis in our built environment is a mammoth challenge. We all need to work together and overcome these stereotypes if we’re going to deliver the quality homes and infrastructure our society needs. My company is small and our development is tiny. But it hasn’t stopped us from running the best community engagement program we know how to run. We’ve knocked on doors, we’ve invited locals to meetings, we’ve sat with them and we’ve showed them our plans and our heart. Property developers have a reputation as ruthless profiteers. I know a hundred. Not one of them is like that. Building homes is a noble calling. It is as critical as education, healthcare, justice and the rest. I’m not calling for a clap for developers. We don’t need it. We’ll get on with doing the job come rain or shine. But I am calling for a more constructive meeting of minds between developers, legislators, planners, inspectors, the media and local communities. We cannot possibly please all the people all of the time. But we can engineer win win win scenarios. #planningdelayishousingdecay #justgettingstarted

President of SixthRiver | Visionary Architect | Encompassing Showcase Work to Strategic Design | Advocate for Affordable Housing and Inclusive Design
It’s hard to admit, but Austin’s housing crisis is turning the city into a place many cannot live in. The heart of Austin is its people, but it's driving out the workers, teachers, and families who built this city. Every day, I see the toll that skyrocketing housing costs are taking on the people who make this city run. It affects the teachers, service workers, creatives, and builders who are this city's backbone. Yet, too many are forced to move farther away, sacrificing time, community, and stability to make ends meet. The solution isn’t simple, but it starts with a commitment to affordable housing that addresses the real needs of our city’s residents. One of our current projects is a development where 50% of the units are affordable housing. We’re also working on a safe house project for women in crisis, which will give them a place to start over with dignity and safety. This fight for affordable housing is personal for me. We can’t continue to push the people who build and serve our city out of it. Inclusion and affordability should be central to how we build our cities. This isn’t just a housing problem—it’s a community problem. And the solution has to be bold, inclusive, and immediate. #AffordableHousing #CommunitySolutions #Inclusivity #Leadership #Sixthriver

How can cities better coordinate among all stakeholders to support housing development? Maybe create a Housing Supply Accelerator! The APA City Planning and Management Communications Team and the National League of Cities recently launched the "Housing Supply Accelerator Playbook" directed at local elected officials and community planners. It lays out how communities can implement a partnership framework to establish a local Housing Supply Accelerator and commit to a common action plan with the following steps: ✅ Establishing a steering committee of local leaders and the community. ✅ Convening core and outside partners to develop recommendations. This should include industry individuals and public and private entities, etc. ✅ Engaging state and federal partners that offer information, tools, services, grants, and other resources. ✅ Selecting convening issues like the development system, finance, or land use regulations. ✅ Delivering on commitments and executing an action plan. #HousingSupplyAccelerator #APA #NationalLeagueofCities #HousingPlaybook https://lnkd.in/g3YXwQ-X

Earlier today, I was excited to join fellow classmates from cohorts 1 - 3 of the #EDAP at the Zone In Gallery downtown. As an emerging developer, community advocate, and attorney, I know these proposed changes are vital for streamlining the variance process and injecting much needed affordability into our housing market. #ZoningReform #AffordableHousing #CommunityDevelopment #RealEstate #EmergingDevelopers #EDAP3

When embarking on a new development project, engaging with the local community is crucial. By involving residents and presenting the project to the neighborhood, developers can build trust, ensure community involvement, and empower residents in selecting their new neighbors. Neglecting this vital step may result in challenges and setbacks for the project. #CommunityEngagement #DevelopmentProject #LocalCommunity
