Affordable housing is a nationwide crisis in many communities. Developing and operating affordable housing is a complicated and challenging process, which puts us in a situation where supply doesn't meet demand.

Everyone deserves safe, stable, and affordable housing. For Kayra Jimenez, stable housing was always a great challenge, until she became a homeowner. Read about her journey here: https://bit.ly/3OOjqYi

"Humanizing the narrative around 'housing for all' is an important step in gaining broader acceptance and support for housing policies and regulations." Understanding the need for affordable housing, providing diverse housing options for a variety of individuals, and effectively conveying a community's housing goals in master planning projects are essential for fostering an equitable and sustainable future. MIG's Mark De La Torre, Deputy Director of Denver Operations and Director of Visualization, expands on this in his article "Master Planning: Consider Affordable Housing" in the August publication of the Colorado Real Estate Journal.

That’s all well and good and I agree something needs to be done with The Grand but there are fundamental issues that need fixing first. Scarborough has a massive pothole issue and the council seems to think that filling the holes with gravel will fix the problem. There’s a massive issue with drainage in Falsgrave park causing it to be either a bog or an ice rink. The council won’t grit it in the winter for fear of liability if someone has an accident, in the meantime, residents, especially the older generation fear taking a walk in the winter because they don’t want to fall. The A64 has had “talks” about it being a dual carriage way for years, when will this become a reality? There’s plots of land/warehouse at the back of Morrison’s that would be ideal for rock climbing/ice rink/trampoline centre to encourage residents and visitors all year round. What will be done about the fact there are Poundlands and charity shops but nowhere to encourage locals to shop local building a sustainable local economy? Surely these are issues that should be tackled before injecting millions of, presumably tax payers’ money into a project that will take years to come to fruition or is this a project for you purely to attract voters?

Join us for our next Circles Becoming Visible Event: "Home Is Where the Hardship Is: The Stress of Housing in Arkansas. We’ve all read the headlines about housing: not affordable, not attainable, not available… Rent hikes and eviction notices have become all too common… Pull up any news source and you’ll see it. Home is where the heart is, or so the saying goes. It’s what we all want home to be like. But as we listen to the housing stories of our Circle Leaders—renters and families seeking safe, stable, and secure housing—we realize it may be more accurate in Arkansas to say: Home is where the hardship is. Join us for the next Circles “Becoming Visible” event as we delve beyond the headlines to explore the real experiences of individuals and families facing the stress of housing in Arkansas. Together, we’ll make visible what is often invisible in the housing conversation. Creating real change requires a community committed to the change—a community that values empathy and compassion in how Arkansas addresses housing and supports renters. Be part of a community committed to reviving the heart in Arkansas housing! Panelists will include Circle Leaders who are part of the the Circles NWA program.

21 awards made nation-wide through the PRO Housing Grant, including $3.3 million for our neighbors to the north in Philadelphia. Looks like they'll use that funding towards a wide range of activities, including: -A comprehensive action plan to preserve existing affordable units -Developing Climate Resilient Design Guidelines -A pilot rehabilitation project to repair flood damage in homes -Developing local code and departmental regulations to streamline affordable housing development -A market feasibility analysis to study the optimal ratio of affordable-to-market rate unit availability Sounds like pretty great stuff, given the major housing challenges we're facing in the region. You can read more about successful awards here: https://lnkd.in/ewg4S4g8 Thanks to efforts from Delaware's very own Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester, the PRO Housing Grant received a $100 mil allocation for FY24, a $15 mil increase from FY23. https://lnkd.in/ev-SXiNJ Hopefully we'll see a Delaware application to the program this year!
