Are missing middle’s even necessary? They fill the gap between single-family homes and large apartment complexes. Here's why they might be necessary: 1. Affordability: Missing-middle housing often offers more affordable options than single-family homes. 2. Diversity: They provide diverse housing choices for different family sizes and incomes. 3. Density: These housings increase density without drastically changing neighborhood character, unlike high-rise apartments. 4. Community: They can foster a sense of community and belonging among residents.

Housing….housing ….housing. Our communities are challenged, and it’s impacting your workforce. If every anchor institution looked at its neighborhood, found a housing partner and set to work planning for a housing project we could help address this crisis. I did it with two great housing partners Home Headquarters, and Housing Visions. While it may not be core to your original strategic goals, acting as a catalyst will add to your role in addressing community needs. https://lnkd.in/eWgYSJRV

NSW Housing and Homelessness Minister Rose Jackson is a supply denialist. Instead, opts for harmful mandates to make projects for additional housing unviable. ABC quotes her as saying "You will not see me proceeding with a state redevelopment that only delivers 30 per cent social and Affordable Housing, it isn't enough." Prefering no housing at all, to approving a whopping 30% below-market rate housing because "it isn't enough". With a crisis rental vacancy rate of 1.5%, a minister for housing should be hell-bent on making Argyll St viable, by simply negotiating - if affordable housing targets are non-negotiable, offer a higher density bonus, or chip in public funds. This project will instead drag on for years without delivering an additional home. Argyll St would be new housing for ~1200 people or 1.6% of Coffs Harbour's population. As a rule of thumb, prices would reduce by 2.5x or 4% - an enourmous $20 per renting household per week, from 1 simple project! Residents would be outraged if they understood. Community consultation is not the answer to complex economic problems, expert opinion and the overwhelming consensus in paper after paper from housing affordability research is that supplying new housing makes housing affordable. This is because new residents vacate their old place, freeing it up for someone less wealthy, who frees it up for someone even less wealthy, all the way down the "Vacancy Chain" to house someone who might be on the Affordable Housing waitlist.. but at a market rate. The only reason so many people are on a waitlist is because market-rate housing is so insane - most are hard working Australians with incomes. Others are families already subsidied with Commonwealth Rent Assistance looking for market-rate housing.

Southwest D.C. has undergone a transformation over the last decade, raising concerns among community leaders that it may not be benefiting all of the area's longtime residents, including those living in public housing. Described as a period of economic renaissance, developments like the $3.5B "The Wharf" megaproject, "Waterfront Metro Station," "Buzzard Point," and the 493-unit "Greenleaf Gardens" have brought attention to issues of affordable housing and inclusivity in the area. Developers are currently seeking ways to build in an ethical manner that uplifts the entire community.

Affordable housing is everyone's problem because it is an issue that affects the entire community. When individuals and families are unable to find affordable homes, it can lead to a ripple effect that impacts not just those who are struggling to find housing, but also the communities in which they live. #inclusivecommunities #affordablehousing #housingcrisis

We’ve been thinking lately about how very useful rural exception sites are to rural communities, and how they might be under appreciated! Most of the community land trust led affordable housing projects that we support are built on rural exception sites. Many of these are simply a corner of a farmers field in a village where housing need is high and it’s hard to build new homes because of planning constraints and high land values. We’ve seen rural exception sites working beautifully for many places like this. Community land trusts leading small developments of affordable housing (usually social rent) for local people on rural exception sites bring forward sites that meet community needs, at costs that make schemes possible - and provide exemptions from the right to buy so that homes remain affordable for local people forever. Knowing that the homes are not at risk of being sold through right to buy is a massive motivator for community groups to work on delivering affordable homes in their places. Although the CLTs we work with deliver in partnership with a housing association, they appoint their own architects and work closely with them to get the homes they know local people will welcome.
