Our Communities, Our Homes: Pathways to Housing and Homeownership in America's Cities and States
(August 2007) by Henry G. Cisneros, Kent W. Colton, Jack Kemp, F, Nicolas P. Retsinas |
| |
| From the authors of Opportunity and Progress: a Bipartisan Platform for National Housing Policy comes a bipartisan and comprehensive approach for communities and states to end chronic homelessness, revitalize public housing, provide workforce housing and sustain homeownership. Based on an examination of successful housing programs in U.S. cities, the book’s key findings is that the most effective programs look at the housing continuum — supportive housing, public housing, rental housing and for-sale homes — as parts of a whole rather than separate, unrelated programs. Such a holistic approach, say the authors, takes into account how shortages in one area can negatively impact other areas. The authors cite specific actions and tools that local and state governments can take toward achieving such important goals as reducing chronic homelessness, preserving affordable rental homes, and boosting sustainable homeownership.
