It’s October and time to celebrate National Community Planning Month!   The American Planning Association (APA) established National Community Planning Month. APA states, “Planners work to improve the well-being of all people living in our communities by taking a comprehensive perspective. This approach leads to safer, resilient, more equitable, and more prosperous communities. We celebrate the role that planning plays in creating great communities each October with National Community Planning Month.”   QK’s expertise in land use and policy planning helps our clients develop common-sense solutions to complex planning problems. Our plans promote efficient and sustainable land development, incorporate development and redevelopment patterns that optimize existing infrastructure investments, and consume less land that can then remain available for agriculture, open space, and natural systems.   Check out these links to learn more about National Community Planning Month and the APA:   APA National Community Planning Month Web Page - https://lnkd.in/gdbz5W2z   APA Home Page - https://www.planning.org/       #planningmonth  #WeAreQK #LandUsePlanning #AEC  

Understanding that here in Detroit this is the time period of the demolishing and demolition of the old in preparation for the last 7 to 5 years of the reconstruct of Detroit to be “dubbed” *New Detroit* which objective appears to be a Non-Black Majority Detroit, I would be remiss not to mention that I’m hip to the supposedly 30 year plan to achieve this nefarious goal. By My estimation & informed opinion WE should be in year 20, 21 or 22 of this “so called” 30 Year Plan.. #DCU #DetroitCitizensUnion “Established To Combat The Detroit City” 👇🏿 #BlackfaceBullshytPoliticalFigures ..Rhuben X

Question: Does Habitat for Humanity ever build multi-family homes or duplexes? Answer: Yes! The homes we build around the world come in all shapes and sizes, catering to the needs and styles of local communities. Just this past week, Habitat for Humanity Chicago broke ground on a project that will include 20 townhomes featuring their own garages, community green spaces, and three- and four-bedroom floor plans. Learn more about this project from ABC 7 Chicago and see more examples of multi-unit Habitat builds in the comments. https://lnkd.in/gy7KGV7u

Great example of what is possible with government collaboration and broader partnerships! Congrats to Habitat for Humanity Greater Ottawa and great to see Minister Paul Calandra getting a first hand tour. Affordable and attainable homeownership IS possible in all our communities. Here are 5 levers that governments could deploy to help us do more ... -- Exempt non-profit ownership homes like those we build at Habitat for Humanity from HST/GST. -- Provide access for non-profit ownership projects to the low cost financing that is available for affordable rental. -- Increase the per door funding from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Société canadienne d'hypothèques et de logement(SCHL) for non-profit affordable ownership homes. -- Introduce time-limited (eg. next 5 years?) tax incentives for philanthropic donations to shelter-based charities. -- Provide a fund available to pre-qualified affordable housing providers to enable them to buy "firesale" condos that are likely to become available over the next couple of years and that could be redeployed for affordable housing.

With each hammered nail and board placed, a home emerges—a sanctuary from life's storms. For Habitat Homeowners, it's more than shelter; it's stability, dignity, and hope. Affordable housing isn't just about walls and roofs; it's the cornerstone of thriving communities. It fosters resilience, fosters dreams, and cultivates a collective spirit of equity and progress. Through Habitat for Humanity, our community weaves a tapestry of compassion, lifting families toward brighter horizons. Over 30 years of impact. 131 homes built. Countless lives transformed. But the need for affordable housing is still great. With your support, we will continue building better futures, home by home. Because Home Matters!
