Hey #affordablehousing pros and allies: Check out this video summary of last week’s Fairfax County Housing Symposium!!

Affordable housing is a challenge for many cities across the state and it requires all partners to focus and prioritize increasing housing options for all. Institutions, whether public, academic, healthcare, or faith-based, can play a significant role in expanding housing affordability and mobility given the amount of land they own, their locations, and accessibility to transportation options and services. The Housing Resource Guide for Faith-Based Institutions serves as an initial resource for faith-based institutions to support decisions in developing their land, partnerships, and their role in housing affordability discussions across the state. https://lnkd.in/eTFnNQbx The guide was developed and written by Holland & Knight LLP, the Urban League of Middle Tennessee’s Real Estate Development (R.E.D.) Academy, and ThinkTennessee. #affordablehousing #housingresourceguide #institutionallandowners #housingpartnerships #housingaffordability

Impact in Focus: In honor of CPC’s 50th year, and in celebration of completing renovations to 16 Manhattan NYCHA developments, we’re shining the spotlight on the PACT Renaissance Collaborative. In 2019, New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), the nation's largest housing authority, chose the PACT Renaissance Collaborative (PRC) to renovate and revitalize 1,700 apartments across 16 Manhattan developments that are home to nearly 3,000 residents. PRC is comprised of CPC, Monadnock Development, The Community Development Trust, Community League of the Heights (CLOTH), Kalel Companies, and Lemor Development Group. Our participation in NYCHA’s innovative PACT-RAD program further cemented CPC as a trusted organization committed to enhancing the living conditions of NYC residents. We’re delighted to have successfully transformed these buildings into the #affordable, #safe, and #equitable homes their tenants deserve. This work has a meaningful effect on the lives of New Yorkers, and we can’t wait to see how much more impact we can make in the next 50 years. Please follow along all year long as we celebrate our 50th anniversary by highlighting the projects, people, and communities that have made CPC what it is today. #CPC50th #50YearsofImpact #50YearsofInnovation

An issue that has been plaguing our housing stock/availability for years. I encourage all to look into this issue in hopes that a common-sense solution will be enacted allowing for a more robust, healthy housing/economic development ecosystem for all.

I will be talking at this event about family friendly apartments, and why regulation is so important to support quality apartment delivery (i'll also be showing some of the *worst examples* of apartment designs from regions that don't regulate amenity and design standards!)
