As construction costs soar, funding for multifamily affordable housing remains relatively stagnant. The result is that multifamily affordable housing developers are increasingly pinched, forced to find creative ways to reduce already-tight construction budgets. Too often this causes delays and adversely affects the quality of the end-product. Meanwhile, the factory-built modular housing market is growing more sophisticated and efficient. It is estimated that the average modular multifamily project can save anywhere from 5% to 10% of overall construction cost relative to a traditionally framed building, not to mention the time savings of up to 40%. Yet, to-date, the modular industry has primarily served market-rate developers. The fact is that there are a number of financing, logistical, and permitting challenges that make modular affordable housing more difficult to achieve than modular market rate housing. Addressing these challenges has the opportunity to increase the affordable housing pipeline and address the affordability crisis.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn about the cost and time saving opportunities for affordable housing associated with prefabricated construction.
2. Learn how to navigate the regulatory hurdles associated with prefabrication.
3. Learn about design constraints and opportunities associated with prefabrication.
4. Learn how construction documentation techniques may vary for prefabrication.

This session was hosted by the AIA Housing and Community Development Knowledge Community in partnership with the Open Architecture Collaborative on May 6th, 2019.
Across the country, housing is becoming scarce and expensive in cities with growing economic opportunity. In many of these regions, grassroots pro-housing organizations have sprung up and are transforming public discourse on housing policy, land use, zoning, and planning. These proponents, some of which identify as “Yes in my backyard” (YIMBY) organizations, are advocating for proposed housing developments of all types and pursuing policy reform at the local and state levels.
The presentation covers the scale and impacts on the housing crisis in high cost metro regions in terms of housing shortages, rent and home costs increases, homelessness, displacement and reductions in opportunities for newcomers. It explores the origins of housing shortages and crises in the emergence of slow-growth politics and policies as a reaction to the rapid growth of the post WW2 era.
Speaker
Mark Vallianatos of Abundant Housing LA + LAplus. Mark is the director of LAplus and policy director of Abundant Housing LA. He is a policy analyst focused on housing, planning and sustainability issues. Mark has researched and written about the history of zoning and the need for more pro-housing policies at local, regional and state levels.
This webinar originally aired on 5/8/18 and was produced by the Open Architecture Collaborative and the AIA Housing Knowledge Community. A recording of the talk can be found here - https://youtu.be/Bb_ad0vP11s

10. KRT and AFH volunteers were able to impress
upon the Sardar (the local landlord) of the area to
give the women land rights to their homes.
Previously, this was unheard of! With this change,
the local women have become secure and
independent. Social awareness has drastically
increased, and the women are now requesting
assistance with education and health facilities.
