Download or read book The Affordable City written by Shane Phillips and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Los Angeles to Boston and Chicago to Miami, US cities are struggling to address the twin crises of high housing costs and household instability. Debates over the appropriate course of action have been defined by two poles: building more housing or enacting stronger tenant protections. These options are often treated as mutually exclusive, with support for one implying opposition to the other. Shane Phillips believes that effectively tackling the housing crisis requires that cities support both tenant protections and housing abundance. He offers readers more than 50 policy recommendations, beginning with a set of principles and general recommendations that should apply to all housing policy. The remaining recommendations are organized by what he calls the Three S’s of Supply, Stability, and Subsidy. Phillips makes a moral and economic case for why each is essential and recommendations for making them work together. There is no single solution to the housing crisis—it will require a comprehensive approach backed by strong, diverse coalitions. The Affordable City is an essential tool for professionals and advocates working to improve affordability and increase community resilience through local action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affordable Housing Preservation in Washington, DC uses the case of Washington, DC to examine the past, present, and future of subsidized and unsubsidized affordable housing through the lenses of history, governance, and affordable housing policy and planning. Affordable housing policy in the US has often been focused at the federal level where the laws and funding to build new affordable housing historically have been determined. However, as federal housing subsidies from the 1960s expire and federal funding continues to decline, local governments, tenants and advocates face the difficult challenge of trying to retain affordability amid increasing demand for housing in many American cities. Now, instead of amassing land, financing and sponsors, affordable housing stakeholders must understand the existing resident needs and have access to the market for affordable housing. Arguing for preservation as a way of acknowledging a basic right to the city, this book examines the ways that the broad range of stakeholders engage at the building and city levels. This book identifies the underlying challenges that enable or constrain preservation to demonstrate that effective preservation requires long-term relationships that engage residents, build trust and demonstrate a willingness to share power among residents, advocates and the government. It is of great interest to academics and students as well as policy makers and practitioners internationally in the fields of housing studies and policy, urban studies, social policy, sociology and political economy.

Book excerpt: "Generation Priced Out is a call for action on one of the most talked about issues of our time: how skyrocketing rents and home values are pricing out the working and middle-class from urban America. Telling the stories of tenants, developers, politicians, homeowner groups, and housing activists from over a dozen cities impacted by the national housing crisis, Generation Priced Out criticizes cities for advancing policies that increase economic and racial inequality. Shaw also exposes how boomer homeowners restrict millennials' access to housing in big cities, a generational divide that increasingly dominates city politics. Defying conventional wisdom, Shaw demonstrates that rising urban unaffordability and neighborhood gentrification are not inevitable. He offers proven measures for cities to preserve and expand their working- and middle-class populations and achieve more equitable and inclusive outcomes. Generation Priced Out is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of urban America"--Provided by publisher

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 18, 2010, Congressman Barney Frank introduced the Housing Preservation and Tenant Protection Act of 2010. The aim of the Bill, Frank noted, was to protect communities from the loss of affordable rental housing units across the country. While the Frank bill and other efforts have sought to slow or stop the conversion of existing units, both non profits and municipal and state governments have been focused in recent decades on fixing this problem for new units of subsidized housing. Specifically, a growing number of new programs aimed at producing new housing require that such housing is affordable "in perpetuity" (or 99 years). These programs are premised on the notion that permanent affordability is preferable both in terms of resident security and a more efficient use of scarce public investments. This paper focuses on an aspect of these programs which has received insufficient consideration; namely how these program mandates will actually play out over the long term. In particular, I seek to address the question of how to properly address the inevitable request by some owner or project sponsor to remove a building from the permanent affordability restrictions. How do and how should the rules governing such permanently affordable projects accommodate the need for changes in income mix for residents, or change in use, or changed economics for the owner (whether non-profit or private) or the government administrators? Should the owners or local governments have sole control over when permanently affordable projects can transition to market rate housing or to commercial uses or should those decisions be subject to oversight, whether judicial or otherwise? The answers to such questions properly involve considerations of legal doctrine, housing policy and intergenerational rights and ethics.
