Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation’s Post

John Smolak - At over $606K per unit, I do hope no government funding, tax credits or other government incentives were provided for this project! And if so, at what cost to the community in exchange for a few affordable housing units which may a short affordability period. Veteran Housing Corp applauds all efforts to build affordable housing but would challenge the US Congress and every local, state, and federal housing agency or affordable housing developer to do better in 2024 and beyond. Veteran Housing Corp demands permanent affordability for all projects receiving government funding, subsidies, tax credits, or other incentives! Veteran Housing Corp demands transparency and every local, state, and federal government agency and other stakeholders MUST provide answers to questions about the housing projects that are built with government funding, subsidies, tax credits, or incentives, including the following: 1. How much funding, federal tax credits, or government benefits or incentives from all government sources did the projects receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? 3. What guarantees exist that tenants will not be displaced after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions!  https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

Our values-led strategic priorities are viewed through the lens of diversity, sustainability and connection while embracing the wealth of perspectives our varied stakeholders bring to the table. Enhancing our community engagement, incorporating financial and environmental sustainability, and growing our work through the development of an equity gaining cooperative model, allows us to realign with our core values.

We're pleased to be at the Building Garden Communities Conference today. Our Senior Researcher Hani Salih took part in an engaging discussion on the potential role of Build to Rent (BTR) development in Garden Towns. Here are some key insights that came up: - Richard B. highlighted how single-family housing can serve as a catalyst for diverse housing options within communities. - Jo Davis discussed the substantial £1.9 billion investment in single-family housing, emphasising its appeal for immediate occupancy and its potential to foster vibrant, legacy-driven communities. - David Reid underscored the potential of institutional ownership and management in ensuring the longevity and quality of BTR developments. - Eve Murzyn emphasised the importance of understanding local needs and engaging with local authorities from the outset to tailor BTR solutions to specific communities. - Hani Salih highlighted the significance of resident involvement and the integration of green spaces to foster community cohesion and a sense of belonging. It was suggested that BTR is a must-have because of the institutional capital it brings, its potential to create communities early on, and the possibilities it brings for providing a diverse mix of housing and tenure types and infrastructure. Plenty of food for thought, and we're looking forward to seeing how some of this plays out in the results of our current research into the social impact of BTR developments. #BuildToRent #GardenTowns #CommunityDevelopment #BTR #SocialImpact #Stewardship #UKHousing #ResidentialDevelopment

This is a great example of how a CLT plays a critical role in unlocking land and housing. A positive relationship with a landowner… making the most of the Rural Exception Site policy…partnering with an RP to get homes built… These are homes that likely wouldn’t be built without this mix. From the article these are the “first in South Gloucestershire to be developed under the Rural Exception Site policy.” Community Land Trust Network research shows that if 15 homes (just as in Marshfield CLT’s case) are built on just one third of the 6,116 villages and small communities that would equate to 30,000 new homes. Here’s to many more Marshfields!

I appreciate knowing the Bellows Falls story. Three focus areas areas are spot on complementary strategies.

Great seeing such progress on this WPC project. How can we meet your Third Party Testing needs on your project?

Manorwood Homes Ltd, a Cavco company, has partnered with Habitat for Humanity International to build modular homes for deserving families.  These factory-built modular homes are constructed to high quality standards in less time than traditional stick-built homes. This innovative approach to working smarter, not harder, is the perfect way to expand Habitat's impact in the communities it serves. “It’s been our absolute pleasure to build our relationship with Manorwood Homes (Cavco),” said Maureen Lashlee, CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Dutchess County, New York. “At a time when America is experiencing a housing crisis, Manorwood Homes has helped us grow from building one house every two years to building five houses in one year.” Looking ahead, Manorwood Homes and Habitat for Humanity are gearing up for several new projects. In Ulster County, they will break ground on a 10-lot subdivision this fall, featuring eight Manorwood modular homes and two stick-built homes. Dutchess County has another ranch home on order, with groundbreaking for a five-lot subdivision planned for spring. Similar plans are underway in Monroe, Steuben and Orange counties. With Manorwood’s homebuilding expertise and Habitat for Humanity’s reach, this partnership has a bright future of providing quality homes to families that need them and making a significant contribution to combatting the affordable housing crisis. #manufacturing #construction #modularhousing #community #positivity
