Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fully revised new edition of this textbook presents a well-balanced set of economic development financing tools and techniques focused on our current times of economic austerity. While traditional public sector techniques are evaluated and refocused, this volume emphasizes the role of the private sector and the increasing need to bring together different techniques and sources to create a workable financial development package. The chapters address critical assessments of various methods as well as practical advice on how to implement these techniques. New chapters on entrepreneurship, the changing nature of the community banking system, and the increasing need for partnerships provides critical insights into the ever-evolving practice of economic development finance.
Download or read book Affordable Housing Development written by Jaime P. Luque and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the nuts and bolts of affordable housing development. Divided into two complementary sections, the book first provides an overview of the effectiveness of existing federal and state housing programs in the United States, such as the LIHTC and TIF programs. In turn, the book’s second section presents an extensive discussion of and insights into the financial feasibility of an affordable real estate development project. Researchers, policymakers and organizations in the public, private and nonprofit sectors will find this book a valuable resource in addressing the concrete needs of affordable housing development. “Luque, Ikromov, and Noseworthy’s new book on Affordable Housing Development is a “must read” for all those seeking to address the growing and vexing problem of affordable housing supply. The authors provide important insights and practical demonstration of important financial tools often necessary to the financial feasibility of such projects, including tax-increment financing and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. Further, the authors provide important backdrop to the affordability crisis and homelessness. I highly recommend this book to all who seek both to articulate and enhance housing access.” By Stuart Gabriel, Arden Realty Chair, Professor of Finance and Director, Richard S. Ziman Center for Real Estate at UCLA "Over several years Jaime Luque, Nuriddin Ikromov and William Noseworthy applied their analytical bent, and no small measure of empathy, to homelessness as actually experienced in Madison, Wisconsin – and they inspired multiple classes of urban economics students to join them. “Homelessness” is a complex web of issues affecting a spectrum of populations, from individuals struggling with addiction or emotional disorders, to families who’ve been dealt a bad hand in an often-unforgiving economy. Read this book to follow Jaime, Nuriddin, and William as they evaluate a panoply of housing and social programs, complementing the usual top-down design perspective with practical analysis of the feasibility of actual developments and their effectiveness. Analytical but written for a broad audience, this book will be of interest to anyone running a low-income housing program, private and public developers, students, and any instructor designing a learning-by-doing course that blends rigor with real-world application to a local problem."

Download or read book Rural Housing and Economic Development written by Don E. Albrecht and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Housing is crucial to the quality of life and wellbeing for individuals and familes, but the availability of adequate or affordable housing also plays a vital role in community economic development. Rural areas face a substantial disadvantage compared to urban areas in regard to housing, and this book explores these issues. Rural Housing and Economic Development includes chapters from nationally known experts from throughout the U.S. to provide insight to help understand and address the difficult housing concerns within rural areas. The chapters cover a variety of issues including housing for rural minorities, the extent of and problems associated with mobile home dwelling, the extent to which affordable rental housing is available in rural areas, the rapidly growing elderly population, and the housing consequences of rapid population and economic growth associated with energy development. The authors not only describe various housing problems, but also suggest policy approaches to more effectively address them. This book will be a vital resource to policy makers at the local, state or national level as they grapple with difficult rural housing problems. Researchers and professionals dealing with housing issues will also benefit from the insights of these experts while the book will also be appropriate for upper level undergraduates or graduate students in courses on housing or economic development.

Download or read book Gentrification and Financial Policy written by Helen Easterling and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper serves as a primer on how to understand the complex issue of gentrification through the lens of financial policy. It introduces historic and current definitions of gentrification, showing how the concept has mutated over time. It reviews the relevant theories, fields of thought, findings, and analyses that have developed since the inception of the concept. Next, the paper shows how certain federally-sponsored financial policy decisions of the 1920s through the 1980s affected gentrification in inner-cities. Additionally, the paper identifies how the declining financial support of the federal government in revitalization efforts has increased pressure on local governments to promote revitalization. Through this analysis, I find that local governments face a trade-off between promoting economic development and maintaining affordable housing. Finally, this paper looks specifically at Tax Increment Financing (TIF), a financially based economic development tool, critically examining the effect of TIF on low-income residents. This study finds that the affordable housing strategies used by most states through TIF have not been effective in protecting against involuntary displacement of low-income residents in the long-term. TIF, therefore, should be required to be used in conjunction with Low Income Housing Tax Credits, a federally funded affordable housing strategy. Additionally, for each affordable housing unit local government takes away, one new unit of affordable housing should replace it to avoid involuntary displacement of low-income residents. Local governments should also consider developing a program to track low-income residents to promote long-term solutions for affordable housing.

Download or read book The Effect of Tax Increment Financing Development on Housing Affordability in Houston Texas written by Letha Marie Allen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tax Increment Financing (TIF), which is called TIRZ in Texas, has become a popular, if controversial, economic development tool used by local jurisdictions across the country. TIF has been used for a variety of purposes and its efficacy has not been widely studied. The few studies on TIF’s effectiveness have been concentrated in the Midwest. This report specifically evaluates the effect of TIF development on housing affordability in Houston, Texas. This work broadly focuses on how TIF district designation and new development in these districts affect overall land and housing costs and thus the supply of affordable housing units in the districts. The City of Houston has historically been averse to formal land use planning such as zoning, but it has enthusiastically embraced TIRZ district creation to raise property values and for the purpose of general “economic development.” This aggressive use of this mechanism in Houston raises critical questions about the purpose and effects of TIRZ financing on the overall tax base and trends in general tax revenues available to meet citywide needs. During the time period examined, 2000-2016, three of the four districts saw substantial increases in housing costs and all showed increases in the number of households burdened by those costs. TIF-related investments were not allocated directly to stimulate the development of new affordable housing units in any of the four districts. Improved transparency is needed to evaluate the efficacy of TIRZ financing as an economic development tool.
