At Landcom, we understand that community engagement and transparency are fundamental to successful development. That’s why we have consulted with residents in Edmondson Park South West Sydney and Mullumbimby Northern Rivers, to gather valuable feedback on our new 100% affordable housing projects. These initiatives are part of our broader goal to create 1,800 affordable homes by 2029, in partnership with the community housing sector.   We know that affordable housing can sometimes be misunderstood, leading to community concerns. We believe that proactive, transparent engagement is key to overcoming these misconceptions. By fostering open dialogue, we aim to build trust, understand issues, and shape our development plans to align with community needs.   Through authentic community engagement, we aim to inform, involve, and empower residents, fostering neighbourhoods that are not only affordable but also vibrant and sustainable.

Community Land Trusts (CLTs) offer many advantages for community development and housing stability. By separating land ownership from property ownership, CLTs help ensure long-term affordability. This makes housing accessible for low and moderate-income families. Also, this model supports community control and engagement. Residents have a direct say in land use and development decisions, which enhances the responsiveness of housing solutions to community needs. CLTs also contribute to the preservation of open spaces and environmental sustainability. The land is protected from speculative development. Additionally, they help stabilize neighborhoods. CLTs reduce the impact of market volatility and gentrification. This fosters economic resilience and strengthens local communities. This approach not only benefits current residents but also creates a lasting legacy of affordable housing and community stewardship.

So excited to share this! How does Abt Global impact real communities? This is a perfect example. The Wyoming Community Development Authority knew they had a problem. A problem that communities in every state are facing - a lack of accessible housing. They knew they needed a plan, one that was guided by science and research, done by a firm they could trust. So it's not a surprise that they chose us at Abt Global. The plan will be finalized in about a month. For now, this is a great article to read about what we learned about Wyoming's housing crisis. #AbtGlobal #Housing #Wyoming #PublicPolicy #HousingPolicy
