This document discusses opportunities to improve housing assistance through community-based approaches and shared responsibility. It explores how design could help bridge information gaps within communities, reveal tacit community knowledge, and flatten service hierarchies. The document also examines New York City's history of housing issues, current challenges around affordability and maintenance, and opportunities for innovative housing service design.
The Renaissance in Denver, Colorado adopted a ten-year plan in 2004 to end homelessness and receive federal funding. This led to the development of multiple Housing First facilities using a permanent housing model. Housing First provides housing and support services to chronically homeless individuals regardless of health issues. Denver's first Housing First facility, Renaissance Civic Center, had minimal community opposition due to its location. Subsequent facilities like Renaissance Uptown required more community engagement during the siting process. Developing good relationships between developers and communities through open communication and good neighbor agreements can help facilitate siting Housing First facilities.
This document summarizes the L.A. Supportive Housing Recovery Initiative launched by CSH and its partners to assist nonprofit developers experiencing financial difficulties from state budget crises and the tightened credit market. The initiative will provide grants, low-interest loans up to $1.5 million through a Project Completion Loan Fund, and technical assistance to complete supportive housing projects impacted by the economic crisis. The goal is to position the permanent supportive housing industry for long-term viability and help nonprofits continue their efforts to end homelessness in Los Angeles.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard Report: An Analysis of its Economic ImpactElisabetta Di Stefano
Pratt Center Website [Prattcenter.net]
“Pratt Center conducted a thorough investigation of the Brooklyn Navy Yard (BNY), a 300-acre city-owned industrial park and one of the fastest growing green manufacturing centers in the country. The report demonstrates that New York City’s strategy of retaining ownership of the Navy Yard, placing it under mission-driven, nonprofit management and investing a total of $250 million in capital funds since 1996 has paid off: the Navy Yard generates $2 billion in economic output and sustains 10,000 jobs and $390 million in earnings each year.
Though large scale production has declined across the United States and in New York City, the report reveals the emergence of a new generation of small, specialized companies. The Navy Yard’s 330 tenants are increasingly linked to the city’s high-profile industries like architecture and design and film and media, as well as the city’s burgeoning cleantech sector. The report provides analysis that can help other cities strengthen their manufacturing sectors by replicating all or part of the Navy Yard model; Philadelphia, Chicago and Detroit were analyzed.
The report also offers recommendations for tools that federal, state and city governments can implement to help private and nonprofit developers acquire and renovate older industrial buildings and make them attractive to today’s modern urban manufacturer.

This document summarizes a project by ThinkPlace, a design firm, to rethink assistance for vulnerable families. The project used a co-design methodology involving service users to better understand their experiences and needs. It included listening to families, reflecting on the co-design process, and bringing together different players through dialogues and social analysis. The results aimed to shift perceptions, reframe assumptions, build empathy, and uncover insights to create new models of collaboration between families and the service system to improve outcomes. The next stage would focus on inclusive co-creation and demonstration of concrete ideas.

This handbook will serve as a guide for use by municipal leaders in future public space projects laying out 10 best practices for public space projects. These 10 facets of the Placemaking approach illustrate the process that PPS and UN-Habitat have undertaken together, and demonstrate the effectiveness of such global partnerships in sustainable urban development through networks such as SUD-Net.
UN-Habitat has been developing a vision for public space. PPS has taken this vision as a starting point and has expanded it to incorporate case study narratives describing the impact of the Placemaking process in nearly a dozen cities throughout the Global South. The goal is to bring Placemaking to bear in the development of public space on a global scale.
UN-Habitat plans to use this document as a template for other public space projects and will share these tools, examples, and processes with other cities for them to then adopt for their own public space projects. This is a draft that will continue to evolve and be expanded over time to incorporate the outcomes of additional joint Placemaking initiatives.
How is the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) tackling the challenges that threaten housing authorities across the nation? What measures have the NYCHA board members put forth to curtail issues like lower budgets, increased need, and old buildings?
This document summarizes the declining supply of workforce housing in high-cost US cities and tools to enable its development and preservation. It discusses how middle-income neighborhoods have declined since the 1970s due to job losses and rising housing costs. While subsidies largely target low-income households, moderate-income households earning 60-120% of the area median income also struggle with high rents and home prices. This shortage of affordable workforce housing impacts teachers, police officers, nurses and other key professions that are vital to local communities. The document examines the challenges faced and potential solutions to preserve and increase the supply of housing for moderate-income families.
The document summarizes issues around affordable housing in New York City and the city's efforts to address them. Key points include:
- There is high demand for affordable housing in NYC but insufficient supply, with over half of renters paying over 30% of income on rent.
- The New Housing Marketplace Plan aims to create or preserve 165,000 affordable units by 2014 through a mix of new construction and preservation.
- The economic downturn led to financial distress in multifamily housing stock, which the city is working to stabilize through initiatives like the Proactive Preservation Initiative.
- Federal funding cuts threaten remaining Plan goals and core HPD services like housing inspections. The city will look to expand
Fernando ruiz, rent stabilization and housing affordability, a case of policy...Fernando Ruiz
New York City and Berlin despite their overall differences and urban challenges, present similarities in a common core related to the preservation and production of affordable housing for low-income inhabitants. After the 1970s both cities experienced an abandonment of public housing programs, leading to the privatization of large amounts of public housing. This process worsened the conditions of housing and inequality for both cities. While both cities experienced a similar process, the strategies being implemented to tackle the housing demands are not the same.

Developing countries are threatened by a housing crisis. New models are needed to produce affordable and sustainable housing on a large scale.
What role can the private sector play?
This document summarizes the complex process of developing affordable housing through New Homes for Chicago (NHfC). It involves many stakeholders like developers, the city, banks, and non-profits. The development process can take from 6 months to 4 years to complete due to the lengthy application processes and need to coordinate between multiple parties. Developers discussed challenges like high construction costs due to funding requirements, difficultly qualifying potential homebuyers, and a bureaucratic city approval system. The primary goal of NHfC is to expand housing affordability, but both developers and residents noted it can still be difficult for families below 80% AMI to purchase the homes.
The document is a presentation about population growth and sustainable development. It argues that the US population will grow by 94 million people by 2030, fueling a major construction boom. It advocates for higher density, mixed-use development as a way to accommodate growth in a sustainable way that preserves green space and infrastructure budgets. Such development mimics existing walkable neighborhoods and meets changing housing preferences like renting and smaller household sizes.
This document provides information about redistricting and a public mapping software project. It outlines features of the mapping software that allow users to create redistricting plans, evaluate plans, and share plans. It describes completed redistricting competitions in several states and aims to increase public participation in redistricting. The project is supported by foundations and companies and has an advisory board of experts. The goal is to create alternatives to politics as usual through public engagement with redistricting.

1) The document discusses models for using real estate investment as an inclusive community-building tool in Toronto. It explores the current housing system challenges through research including interviews and workshops.
2) The housing system is made up of elements like consumption, policy-making, development and financing that create tensions between stakeholders. Dynamics like viewing housing as an emotional investment and short-term policy fixes that prevent long-term changes were analyzed.
3) A desirable future was co-designed with principles like fostering belonging, trust, and affordable equity-based housing options. Changing the conversation and making room for change through prototyping were discussed as strategies to facilitate progress toward this vision.
The document discusses the global need for affordable housing and challenges in meeting this need. It notes that the right to adequate housing is enshrined in international law but remains unfulfilled for many. The global population is projected to grow significantly by 2025 and 2035, increasing the need for affordable housing by over 1 billion people. Major challenges include inability to keep up with rapid urbanization, limited budgets, and construction difficulties in rural areas. Innovative policies, construction systems, technologies, and financing models are needed to make housing prices affordable for more people worldwide.
This document appears to be a dissertation report submitted by Pragya Sharma for her Masters in Architecture. The report examines transforming shelters into affordable housing. It includes sections on objectives and scope of study, research methodology, introduction/definitions, demand and supply constraints, the demand model methodology, population and housing statistics in India, total housing shortage estimates in India, category-wise housing shortage breakdown, growth of slums, and suggested parameters for EWS/LIG and MIG housing. The report analyzes factors influencing the demand and supply of affordable housing in India and examines transforming existing shelters to address the large housing shortage, especially for low-income groups.

This document summarizes a session on public spaces and social cohesion. It discusses how public spaces can harness social cohesion across diverse groups and accommodate multiple stakeholder interests. It also examines challenges like the emergence of virtual spaces, political conflicts, urbanization, and clamping down on public spaces. Examples are provided from GIZ programs in Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, and regional projects. The examples showcase how participatory planning and inclusion of marginalized groups in infrastructure projects can foster social cohesion and ownership over public spaces. Challenges addressed include complexity, limited services, power struggles over use of spaces, and marginalization. The discussion focuses on enabling factors like participatory tools, institutional structures, capacity development, and integrating gender
Factors Determining the Continuous Price Appreciation of Condominium Units in...Premier Publishers
The rapid growth rate of Addis Ababa’s population has resulted in a growing demand for residential housing. Hence, the Ethiopian government reacted to launch condominium program to improve the housing problems of the poor. However, the continuous appreciation of this condominium transaction price and unaffordability of the units for the poor were some of the challenges to this housing program after transfer. This study aimed to explore the major factors responsible for price appreciation correlated to the demand. Descriptive research method and mixed research approach have employed on three pilot study areas through, purposive selection focusing on two municipal districts in Addis Ababa. Both primary and secondary sources of data were used by means of questionnaires, interviews and a review of relevant documents. The OLS estimators have resulted highly statistically significant for the expected variables of year, area and location in determining the price suggesting further contributing factors from the actual findings. Actual findings thus identified; lack of information, illegitimate role of brokers and monopolistic housing supply as major determinants. Finally, this study has recommended passing regulations and directives can minimize the incremental rate of the condominium transaction price considering all the challenging factors of the sector having clear and reasonable valuation methods.
The document summarizes a presentation on using mapping to advocate for equity and social justice. It discusses how maps can effectively display spatial inequities related to issues like race, region, and social factors. It provides examples of opportunity mapping projects conducted by the Kirwan Institute to analyze access to education, jobs, housing and other opportunities across different areas. The presentation highlights case studies where these maps have guided policy decisions and program implementations to promote more equitable communities.
The Real and the Imagined Socially Responsible Real Estate in China - Context...STL Lab
The document discusses three case studies of socially responsible real estate development in China:
1) Liangzhu Cultural Village in Hangzhou, a new town developed by private capital with a focus on livability, cultural heritage, and community.
2) Suzhou-Singapore Industrial Park, a new city developed through government leadership with high-quality planning, functional zoning, and social services.
3) Urban renewal in Nanchang, which focuses on secondary development led by private capital and the market. The cases illustrate different approaches to socially responsible development in China.
This document summarizes research on community engagement tools used to build support for transit-oriented development (TOD) projects. It conducted focus groups in 4 Bay Area communities to evaluate the effectiveness of these tools. The focus groups found that credibility, specificity, community benefits, and relating to local context were important. Conversely, manipulation, unsupported ideas, and ignorance of the community undermined the tools. The research aims to help improve TOD outreach by understanding what messaging resonates with communities.
The document discusses how developers are addressing affordable housing needs in the current economic environment by building on a smaller scale with slower development. Specifically, some developers are focusing on smaller projects that do not require as much debt, and many home builders are constructing smaller homes to match current consumer demand. Additionally, local realtor associations are playing important roles in their communities by addressing workforce housing needs through various strategies like sustainable affordable housing.
Jason Reece gave a lecture on using GIS and mapping for advocacy and promoting equity. He discussed how maps can effectively display spatial inequities related to race, class, and other social factors. He provided examples of opportunity mapping projects conducted by the Kirwan Institute to analyze access to education, jobs, housing and other opportunities. Reece explained how these maps have informed programs and policies to improve opportunities for disadvantaged communities.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
“It’s housing that families in certain income categories can
occupy for 30% or less of their income.”
But, rent burden is not evenly distributed across income categories.
50% of New York City residents pay more than 30% of their income
in rent and 30% pay more than 50% of their income in rent.
This government definition determines which families are eligible
to benefit from different affordable housing programs according to
different income categories and …

DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES
1. The housing market in New York is extremely complex to
navigate especially in the field of affordable housing.
Going through the many government programs and services
can be a serious challenge, even for housing and development
professionals and community organizations.
2. The creation of resident-based services and collaborative
efforts of residents living in the buildings with
investments leveraged by HPD could have a transformative
impact in underserved neighborhoods promoting social and
economic integration and contributing to the overall success
and preservation of the investment.
