NBNPHA 2013 CONFERENCE
“Affordable Housing – Planning for the Next Generation”
Mike O’Brien, Fredericton City Councillor
Chair, Affordable Housing Committee
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.
Housing is considered affordable when total housing costs do not exceed 30% of a household's monthly income. This includes rent/mortgage payments and utilities. Affordable housing must preserve existing affordable units, make housing more affordable and available, promote diversity, and help families build wealth while linking to supportive services and balanced growth. Factors limiting affordable housing production include land and construction costs, zoning laws, and community reaction. Housing policies must promote healthy families and communities. Examples of policies include the Local Housing Allowance in the UK and rental assistance programs in the United States. While rural housing is assumed to be affordable, costs of living can be high with lower incomes.
The document discusses several key issues related to affordable housing:
1) Affordable housing shortages negatively impact millions of Americans who spend over 30% of their income on housing costs.
2) Factors like housing quality, location, cost, and sustainability must be considered to ensure housing remains affordable over decades.
3) A lack of affordable housing can negatively impact public health and children's development through increased stress and frequent moving.
On January 16, 2014, ULI’s Terwilliger Center for Housing, in partnership with the American Planning Association and the National Multifamily Housing Council, held the first annual ULI/Carolyn and Preston Butcher Forum on Multifamily Housing. Attended by 50 industry leaders, the event provided a forum to discuss the changing multifamily residential landscape and led to the development of a series of “big ideas” for expanding the availability of rental housing nationwide. The ten principles presented here are a summary of the ideas framed at this event.
This presentation was developed by Michelle McDonough Winters, Senior Visiting Fellow for Housing at the ULI Terwilliger Center. Special thanks to Doug Bibby and Mark Obrinsky at the National Multifamily Housing Council, who provided feedback on the development of the ten principles and assisted with some content of the presentation.
The document discusses various obstacles in housing in India. Some of the key obstacles mentioned are:
1) Pressure on land resources due to urbanization which leads to issues around land sustainability and availability.
2) Lack of adequate funding for housing development and poor infrastructure.
3) High poverty levels which exacerbate housing problems.
4) Constraints around bank credit, high land costs, and lack of involvement from the private sector which makes housing inaccessible for low and middle income groups.
The document discusses several challenges facing urban development in India, including lack of empowerment of urban local bodies, outdated city planning, lack of qualified planners, revenue generation issues for municipalities, need for affordable housing and improved health services, water and sanitation problems, traffic issues, environmental concerns, urban crime, poverty, and need for employment. It also outlines steps the government has taken to address these issues, such as the 74th Amendment Act, National Urban Transport Policy, National Urban Renewal Mission, metro projects, monorail projects, the Smart Cities Mission, and other initiatives.
The document summarizes housing and sanitation issues in urban India. It notes that 99% of the country's 24.7 million housing shortage is for economically weaker and low-income groups. Slum populations have grown significantly faster than total urban populations. There is a need for public-private partnerships and affordable housing options to address these challenges. The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission aims to improve infrastructure and provide housing for the urban poor.

This document discusses various approaches to providing affordable rental housing in India. It begins by defining different types of affordable housing such as ownership housing, social rented housing, and intermediate housing. It then discusses challenges around providing affordable housing given rapid urbanization and poverty levels in India. The document outlines several government initiatives and programs to promote affordable housing. It also examines issues around developing affordable housing and strategies to increase housing supply such as using government land banks and increasing floor space index. The document analyzes rental housing models and case studies from other countries and within India to provide affordable rental options.
The document summarizes inclusionary housing policies in the United States and Europe. In the US, inclusionary housing programs began in the 1970s in response to segregation, lack of affordable housing, and growth pressures. Programs allow developers to build market-rate units in exchange for including some affordable units. European programs emerged more recently, in the 1990s and 2000s, in response to reduced public housing and a shift toward more private sector and market-based solutions to the affordable housing issue. The document compares characteristics of inclusionary housing programs between the two regions.
The policies of urban development and housing in India have come a long way since 1950s. The pressure of urban population and lack of housing and basic services were very much evident in the early 1950s. In some cities this was compounded by migration of people from Pakistan. However, the general perception of the policy makers was that India is pre-dominantly an agricultural and rural economy and that there are potent dangers of over urbanisation which will lead to the drain of resources from the countryside to feed the cities.
Urbanization is rapidly increasing in Bhutan, with the urban population projected to reach 50% by 2020, putting pressure on limited land and housing resources. This will require 17,000 additional hectares of land for urban areas by 2020, comprising 27% of Bhutan's arable land. Rapid urbanization is causing housing problems like a lack of adequate and affordable housing, poor infrastructure, and high rental costs. The causes of Bhutan's urban housing problems include a lack of proper town planning, no agency overseeing housing issues, high land and construction costs, and a lack of private sector involvement and long-term financing for housing. Addressing Bhutan's growing urban housing demands will require partnerships between government and professional organizations.
Rural housing in India faces several challenges. The majority of rural households have low and constrained incomes as opportunities for jobs and development are limited. As a result, most rural homes are small and low quality, with many lacking basic amenities like toilets and electricity. While home ownership is high in rural areas, the housing stock is inadequate to meet the needs of the growing rural population. New construction rates remain low compared to urban areas. Appropriate, low-cost technologies are needed to improve rural housing conditions and quality of life.

National Policies & Programs for Slum Upgrading in India: Bridging the Gap between Policy & Practices - Rajiv Ranjan Mishra - Third Expert Meeting of the Regional Slum Upgrading Working Group (RSUWG) - 29th. of November to the 1st. of December 2015 in Laleh International Hotel, Tehran, I.R. of Iran
The document discusses urban regeneration as a tool for housing delivery in Nigeria. It outlines the concepts and types of regeneration, challenges of housing delivery in Nigeria including issues with land, finance, and previous housing policies. It provides examples of urban renewal programs in Lagos, challenges they face, and examples of regeneration programs in other countries. Regeneration can help address poverty, unemployment, infrastructure issues, and improve communities when implemented as a coordinated long-term economic, social and environmental intervention.
The document discusses India's Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) affordable housing program. It is being implemented in 3 phases from 2015-2022 to provide housing to the urban poor. Affordable housing is defined as housing that costs 30% or less of a household's income. Various policies and programs to promote affordable housing in India are discussed, including issues around housing shortage, rising slum populations, and the high costs associated with providing housing for all.
The document discusses housing policy and Habitat III. It outlines several key challenges: a lack of integrated housing frameworks; exclusionary zoning laws and regulations that increase costs; and the growth of informal settlements. The document proposes several transformative actions to address these challenges, including adopting a holistic housing development framework integrated with urban planning; pursuing inclusive housing policies; and taking a twin-track approach of slum upgrading and new housing provision programs.
Problem of urban housing, slums and there solutionsaayush koolwal
Homelessness is a complex problem caused by several factors like shortage of housing, lack of entitlement to land and housing, and personal circumstances of homeless people. Some of the main issues that contribute to homelessness in India are shortage of housing in urban areas, lack of entitlement to land which leads to squatting, lack of entitlement to existing housing, and financial difficulties that prevent people from affording housing. While government schemes aim to provide housing, fast urbanization continues to strain resources and lead to issues like overcrowding in housing. Congestion in urban housing has negative economic, health, social and environmental consequences for cities. Various government schemes have been implemented to tackle the problems of housing shortage, but challenges remain in fully addressing issues around
Stanlee's presentation on affordable housingStanLee GeorGe
Urbanization has resulted in people increasingly living in slums and squatter settlements and has deteriorated the housing conditions of the economically weaker sections of the society. This is primarily due to the skyrocketing prices of land and real estate in urban areas that have forced the poor and the economically weaker sections of the society to occupy the marginal lands typified by poor housing stock, congestion and obsolescence.
In this dissertation, we will explore major issues in the development of affordable housing in India and steps taken by the Government and private sector to address them inclusively.
Inadequate Urban Housing continues to plague Nigeria. Various efforts in the past has been concentrated around government control or entirely private sector provision, the prevailing result has been inadequate delivery where government directly contracts out housing schemes, and expensive housing where intervention by private enterprise.
Our proposal to the government in the article submitted, is to create conducive climate for private investment in housing provision. If government makes it cheaper for private business to develop housing, their deliveries will be cheap and withing reach of the lower income earners.
It is time to move forward on affordable housing in New York, an update from LiveOn NY. For older adults, the lack of availability and affordable housing is a worsening crisis. Solutions recommended include production, preservation, and regulation. By retooling existing programs and additional investment in select programs, the City can serve at least 100,000 seniors, laying the groundwork to meet the housing needs of NYC’s growing elderly population.

- Launched in 2015, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) aims to provide housing for all in urban areas by 2022.
- It has 4 components and will be implemented in phases over cities and towns across the country.
- The scheme utilizes a mission mode approach and provides central assistance to implementing agencies through states and union territories.
- An analysis of the scheme found some best practices across states in areas like technology usage and implementation processes, but also identified some challenges around land issues, participation of the private sector, and funding.
The presentation summarized the District of Columbia's approach to affordable and mixed-income housing. It discussed defining affordable housing, population growth driving the need for more units, tools used to finance development like tax incentives and the Housing Production Trust Fund, and innovative programs promoting mixed-use development and tenant ownership. Challenges included slow delivery of inclusionary zoning units due to the economy and lack of staff to monitor affordability requirements. Moving forward, the mayor committed $287 million in additional funding with a goal of producing 10,000 affordable units by 2020.
The document outlines Joe Pantalone's platform and vision for Toronto. It discusses his plans to address affordable housing, including building 1000 new affordable units per year and expanding rent control. It also discusses his transportation plan to build an affordable and extensive light rail network, as well as plans to promote sustainability, economic development, and support for seniors and vulnerable groups. The document emphasizes Pantalone's decades of experience and his vision of building an inclusive city that leaves no one behind.

The document emphasizes Pantalone's decades of experience and his vision of building an inclusive city that leaves no one behind.
The document discusses the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Fund, which aims to preserve and create affordable housing units near transit to benefit low-income, minority, and senior communities. It outlines the goals of increasing access to jobs, services and preventing displacement. It provides examples of projects funded to date, and future plans to expand focus on seniors and increase the fund size. Key goals are outlined to align with the Metro Vision 2035 plan to increase density near transit and decrease emissions.
The document outlines a plan for sustainable urban development in the United States by 2030. It notes that the US population is expected to grow by 94 million people by 2030, requiring nearly 60 million new housing units. It advocates for higher-density, mixed-use development as a way to accommodate growth, reduce sprawl, and create more livable communities with a variety of housing and transportation options. The plan calls for stakeholders including elected officials, businesses, and citizens to support changes to zoning and policies to encourage this new development model.
This document provides an overview of housing microfinance and its role in improving living standards for those suffering from poor infrastructure. It analyzes current organizations involved in housing microfinance and evaluates the impact it has had at local, national, and international levels. Specific case studies are discussed, such as programs in Kenya, India, and organizations partnered with Rooftops Canada that have helped thousands of households through loans and increased access to capital and land.
The document discusses inclusionary housing policies and programs. It provides details on Montgomery County, Maryland's successful Moderately Priced Dwelling Unit program which has resulted in over 12,500 affordable units. It also discusses the growth of inclusionary housing programs nationally, with over 400 jurisdictions having some form of program. The biggest programs are in states like California, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. It argues for the relevance of inclusionary housing policies in Florida to address the mismatch between housing costs and what residents can afford.
The document discusses promoting the planning, design, and construction of a wider range of housing unit types to adequately house all income levels and age groups. It also encourages energy efficiency in new and existing housing and ensuring new housing developments are protected from potential flood hazards. The summary is as follows:
The document discusses promoting housing that meets the needs of all income levels and age groups through a wider range of housing unit types. It also promotes energy efficiency in housing and protecting new developments from flooding.
Produced by a partnership between real estate organizations and environmentalists, uses compelling visuals that show how compact development can create vibrant neighborhoods. And it shows how everyone can personally benefit from higher-density development—even those who live in single-family houses nearby.
The document discusses sustainable development goal 11 of making cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. It notes that half the world's population lives in cities and by 2030 nearly 60% will live in urban areas, placing pressure on resources. A key issue in Pakistan is providing adequate housing for the poor, as there is a backlog of 7.6 million homes and demand growing by 250,000 per year. Solutions proposed include implementing development plans, increasing affordable housing finance options, encouraging high-density transit-oriented development, and making laws more flexible to support low-income housing.
When 1st District City Councilwoman Bonnie Lowenthal ran successfully for California State Assembly, she vacated her City Council seat. A special election was scheduled for April 7, 2009 to fill the vacant 1st District seat. The candidates who ran were Robert Garcia, William Grisolia, Evan Braude, Jana Shields, Misi Tagaloa and Rick Berry. William Grisolia dropped out of the race the last week of March. The community group Greater Long Beach ICO partnered with The Neighborhood United Methodist Church to put on a candidates' forum. ICO and The Neighborhood prepared this presentation to lay out the issues facing the 1st District in order to frame the questions posed to the candidates.
This document outlines a vision for affordable housing in Africa. It discusses the large population growth expected across Africa which will drive demand for millions of new housing units annually. Currently there is a large gap between housing demand and supply, with many living in inadequate or informal housing. The vision proposes developing mixed-income, planned communities on the outskirts of cities that provide affordable homes alongside amenities and economic opportunities. This would help address Africa's urban housing challenge in a sustainable way. The business model involves cross-subsidization between housing types and partnerships along the development process to deliver homes efficiently.
"BeltLine Affordable Housing Trust Fund (BAHTF)" was presented by Kate Little at the Bringing Workers Home regional forum in Atlanta, June 2010, as part of the growing cost of place panel
This document outlines a vision for affordable housing in Africa. It notes that Africa faces a large housing gap as its population is growing rapidly and urbanizing. The organization, Urbanis Africa, aims to address this gap by developing mixed-income communities on the peripheries of cities that provide affordable housing, jobs, and amenities. Their business model involves cross-subsidization between housing units and collaboration across partners. They offer integrated services across the real estate development process and have begun projects in Kenya providing thousands of affordable housing units.
The document discusses how new financing options from the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) are enabling mixed-use and mixed-income development projects across Virginia. The expanded VHDA loan program allows properties to serve residents of a broader range of incomes, including market-rate tenants. Examples of projects utilizing these new loans include the South Sixteen development in Roanoke, which transformed a brownfield site into apartments and retail space, and the adaptive reuse of a historic office building in Norfolk. Local officials comment on how the new options are encouraging revitalization in their communities.
The document discusses challenges around adequate, secure, and affordable housing in cities in the global south. It outlines three main challenges: rapid urban growth is outstripping housing supply; cities have smaller budgets than global north cities; and slum populations continue to rise. It then discusses three strategies to address these challenges: in situ upgrading of informal settlements; developing more rental housing options; and converting underutilized urban land to affordable housing. Successful examples from places like Thailand, South Africa, Bolivia, and Chile are provided.
- The document analyzes housing affordability data from ZIP code 78704 in Austin.
- It finds that housing price is most strongly correlated with size and age of the home. Only condos built before 1972 are around $200,000, the price affordable to median income.
- Increasing housing supply or density alone will not make housing affordable given current construction costs and market prices. The real issue is socioeconomic and requires broader policies to raise incomes.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
This document summarizes the evolution toward a Housing First approach to addressing homelessness in New Brunswick. It provides statistics on homelessness in Canada and New Brunswick and discusses the core principles of Housing First, which include providing permanent housing and supports without preconditions. Housing First represents a radical shift from previous emergency shelter-based systems by prioritizing access to housing. The document outlines existing Housing First programs in New Brunswick and the importance of coordinated community planning and systems to facilitate client flow and achieve the best outcomes for ending homelessness.
This document provides an overview of operating agreements expiring for non-profit housing projects in New Brunswick and resources available to help prepare. Statistics show many expiring agreements between 2013-2030. The New Brunswick Non-Profit Housing Association assists members in planning for expiry by completing assessments, action plans, and advocating based on aggregated data. Results to date found 25-44% of assessed projects will require reserve planning and 20-25% may not remain viable without subsidies. Resources are available from NBNPHA staff and guides to help housing groups in the expiry process.
The document discusses coaching practices and stress management techniques used by the Live Well! Bien Vivre! program. The coaching practices include short- and long-term goal setting using SMART goals, creating personalized action plans, building on strengths to overcome barriers, and providing emotional support and accountability. Stress management techniques involve understanding sources of stress, coping mechanisms like planned activities, and stress relief methods such as meditation. The document also provides examples of SMART goals and guides participants in creating their own goals.
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of landlords and tenants in rental agreements. It provides information on:
1. The role of the Rentalsman's Office is to enforce rental laws, investigate complaints, provide mediation services, educate landlords and tenants, and adjudicate disputes.
2. Landlords are obligated to deliver and maintain clean and repaired housing units fit for habitation, while tenants must pay rent, maintain cleanliness, and not cause disturbances.
3. Standard lease forms outline the length of tenancy, security deposits, assignment of tenants, and entry rules for landlords. Disputes should be brought to the Rentalsman's Office using a 5-step process.
