How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Cross-Subsidization and Income Averaging for Deep Affordabilitymethodology: income_averaging_cross-subsidizationBy using income averaging and cross-subsidization within mixed-income buildings, the organization enables the development of housing affordable to extremely low-income households in high-cost markets, because blending income levels spreads financial risk and leverages market-rate units to subsidize deeply affordable ones.
- Priority-Driven Advocacy with Structured Governancemethodology: priority-driven advocacyBy setting annual policy priorities in consultation with an Advisory Board, the organization aligns its advocacy and education efforts across government levels, because a focused, governance-guided strategy increases influence and ensures resources are directed toward high-impact, evidence-based reforms.
- Stakeholder Convening for Policy Reformmethodology: stakeholder-conveningBy convening diverse affordable housing stakeholders—including policymakers, practitioners, and advocates—this organization fosters collaborative dialogue that leads to actionable policy reforms, because collective expertise and shared understanding accelerate consensus on complex barriers like land use approvals and environmental review.
- Transit-Oriented Development as Equitable Growth Strategymethodology: transit-oriented-developmentBy promoting transit-oriented development and increased housing density, the organization improves affordability and counters historical segregation, because locating housing near transit reduces household transportation costs and expands access to opportunity while addressing regional supply shortages.
