The research is clear: mixed-income housing is key to upLifting Orlando. 📊 70% of young adult Americans said that it was harder for them to afford a home than it was for their parents’ generation. In October 2021, about half of Americans (49%) said this was a major problem where they live—and this is up 10 percentage points from early 2018. Affording a home is now an American challenge; we need one another to learn how to handle this challenge best. For over a decade, Lift Orlando has been working with residents to create mixed-income housing opportunities, bringing beautiful homes to places like Pendana at West Lakes and Pendana Senior Residences. Both were created thanks to our phenomenal partner Columbia Residential. You can upLift your neighbor with Lift Orlando, too.

" We need to get more affordable homes built and to do that, we need to lower the barriers for the builders who are invested in this goal.” To learn more about the Field Order 15 and its goal to close the affordable housing gap for Black families, visit: https://buff.ly/3vBdsDa. #bhi #blackhomeintiative #civiccommons #homesight #homeownership #equitygoal #housinggap

Big news in Boston Real Estate- Dorchester's St. Mary's Center is set to receive a new affordable housing facility. With 40 units up for grabs, this is a promising model combining low-income housing, community, and commerce. But it does spark questions. Are we doing enough to provide a pathway from homelessness to home ownership in our developments? Consider this: 11 out of the 40 units in this project are reserved for families transitioning from homelessness. That’s a sight for sore eyes. But can we do more? Safe, affordable housing is pivotal for community growth, and this project amplifies the role real estate plays in changing lives. Now, reflect on your property portfolio- how does it support families in need? How can you integrate affordability into your real estate strategy without compromising growth? How can your projects foster community cohesion? If these questions leave you scratching your head, it might be time for a chat. Drop me a line- let’s explore ways to make Boston Real Estate accessible for everyone without compromising your business growth. Because in our concrete jungles, there’s room for everyone to thrive if we pave the way. #BostonRealEstate #Boston #BostonRealtor #TurcoGroup #eXpRealty #BostonCondo #BostonHome #MovemetoBoston

What does the future hold for Colorado’s affordable housing sector? Speaking with Star I. of Law Week Colorado, Alejandro Monarez of our Affordable Housing and Community Development Group stated, "As economic pressures continue to strain the existing housing stock and prospective purchasers and renters of homes in Denver and nationwide struggle to find reasonably priced housing, we are seeing additional resources, as well as improved administrative infrastructure, to deploy the funds as efficiently and effectively as possible."

"Our model is a limited-equity cooperative model, which means families will be building some wealth as they are living in the cooperative. Building wealth is something that doesn't exist in much affordable rental housing because that hasn't been the model. But our approach is also about spreading out the risk, collectivizing as much of it as we can, so that the individual impact is lessened from individual families. Ours is also a project about remembering ancestral ways of doing things more collectively, more communal."   Read more about the BLUU x UHW Cooperative Housing Initiative ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/giMpcy8y
