111. Reasons for Citizen Participation
(when building affordable housing)
• When building in Lower Income Communities:
1. Expands Political Involvement in Community Development
2. Demystifies the Real Estate Development Process
3. Creates More Livable Communities
4. Provides Opportunities for Cultural Expression
• When building in Middle Income Communities:
1. Gains their support so they do not fight the development
2. Educates them about who are people with lower incomes
3. Makes a genuine attempt to address their concerns
4. Wins their political support
112. Why Lower Income households should
help plan and live in
Mixed-Income Neighborhoods
• Distribution of Land Uses– more democratic access to
economic, educational and social opportunities
• Public institutions– schools, churches, recreation
programs, etc. can create bridges and bonds across class
and cultural differences
• Public places– streets, parks, plazas, transit, shops, etc—
provide opportunities for mixing incomes
• Choice: Cultural and class diversity can be enjoyed in
casual moments of intersection and the choice is always
there to make longer-term friendships
113. Why Lower Income Households should
plan their own buildings
separate from Higher Income Households
• Non-Profit Developers provide needed services which market-rate
developers do not:
affordable child care, job training, parenting skills,
financial literacy, computer literacy, good nutrition on low
budgets, after-school tutoring, summer ‘camps’ for children, etc.
• Families bond to provide mutual support
• Cohesive cultural and class-based organizations build political
advocacy which gets diluted in mixed-income settings
• Independence of lower income households heightens confidence,,
cultural awareness and artistic expression
