There is no easy solution to the housing affordability challenge, and neither the public nor the private sector can solve it alone — they must join hands. Partnerships can involve many different players — including land trusts, housing authorities, and even employers — to win community support; assemble land, infrastructure, and financing streams; and provide ongoing social support services that create benefits and long-term successes for everyone involved.

  • Public-private partnerships, including with nonprofits
  • Involve land assembly and land banks
  • Work with community land trusts
  • Explore employer-assisted housing opportunities
  • Provide homeownership education and support programs
