Lettire Construction Corp.’s Post

Things keep getting better at Broadleaf Arbor! Thanks for sharing this update, LMC Construction.

Casey Kleinhenz made some very valid points about the success of this project. Affordable housing is not accomplished by building low quality housing. This project was accomplished through a lot of work by community leadership, philanthropy, municipal support. You never see that work, or the capital that is deployed at lower returns to meet the community needs. Affordable housing doesn’t just happen by miracle, a lot of people work on it. I’m seeing that first hand. I’m getting ideas on how the industry can define a process for impacting design and construction costs. Trey Williams leads the Multi Family team at Buffalo Builders, LLC. If you seek to develop a multi family project, talk with him early in the process. He can work with your design team on cost options during design so that budget and materials and methods align from the beginning. Controlling costs flows to lower rents and ROI both or lower rents alone depending on your goals. #affordablehousing #affordability #buffalobuilders #Downtownspringdale #buffalobuilt #GroundworkNWA #workforcehousing #NWArk

Veteran Housing Corp says that IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A PERMANENT AND LASTING SOLUTION TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESSNESS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

There are four organizations in Alabama that incorporate Planning & Design into economic and community development. DesignAlabama, Your Town Alabama, ALABAMA COMMUNITIES OF EXCELLENCE, and Main Street Alabama have collaborated to develop the Community Seeds Symposium to highlight relevant solutions to current issues in Alabama’s towns, communities, and main streets. #EconomicDevelopment #Housing #Design #Planning

Thank you to the Urban Land Institute and Gretchen Sweeney for championing this document! I am thrilled to share that the work we accomplished over the past decade with North Shore Community Development Coalition in El Punto neighborhood of Salem is now a neighborhood revitalization case study at ULI. Reflecting on the journey with colleagues and friends at NSCDC, here are some lessons learned: -Start by establishing strong connections with the current community. Then, prioritize and align their needs and desires with the interests of other stakeholders, and anticipated market/regulatory trends, to create a common vision and a set of actionable goals. -Remember, a neighborhood or community is not an isolated entity; it exists within a broader context and history. Understanding this context and history is crucial for helping address systemic issues that hinder equitable revitalization efforts. -When it comes to real estate development projects, the guiding principle is to "hit multiple targets with a single arrow." Projects must equally emphasize improving quality of life both within and outside of the development. Promoting social life in the public realm is key! This is a reason why we started the Punto Urban Art Museum. Here is the full case study: https://lnkd.in/euY33ABR
