That was when the world found out about Habitat for Humanity, said Habitat for Humanity International CEO Jonathan Reckford. The world had never seen a former President and First Lady swinging hammers alongside volunteers and future homeowners. Their example of servant leadership not only helped families achieve the dream of affordable homeownership, but it inspired thousands of volunteers around the world to do the same. The street being named in President Carter's honor is incredibly fitting but we know what he would really hope for is that the work that he and Mrs. Carter started more than 40 years ago continue.

By 1970, much of the housing stock was fifty years old and in need of substantial capital investments: new roofs, elevators, plumbing, and electrical wiring. Many small landlords simply couldn't afford these improvements. They did not abandon their buildings because they lost value-they abandoned them because they were losing money. Some of these landlords had put their life savings into their buildings.

Terraine Miller, a supervisor with Ahsing Solutions, a crew of seven to eight ambassadors who move people along and post at different corners, said the west side of Mission Street had become almost boring. And the east side? The city is apparently waiting for construction to begin on the affordable housing project planned for there. Once that starts early next year, Miller said, there won't be room for vendors.

San Jose officials have committed a significant public subsidy for the Gateway Tower project, a step that will help the first high-rise workforce housing complex downtown begin construction early next year and add hundreds of much-needed units to the city's housing stock. The City Council approved more than $38 million in loans for Core Cos.' 15-story, 220-unit project at 470 S. Market St. that will ultimately cost more than $197 million to build.

The significant opinions of our Supreme Court have defined what the Constitution requires in providing affordable housing and emphasized the important role of the legislative and executive branches in fulfilling that obligation, Lougy wrote. The coalition of about three dozen towns argued that the 2024 law exceeded the requirements of the state Supreme Court's Mount Laurel doctrine, which established that municipalities must allow their fair share of low-income housing.

The project, led by developers Rabina and Park Tower Group, would bring about 1,260 mixed-income apartments, with 25 percent set aside as permanently affordable as part of the Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program required with rezonings. Board members added a list of 10 conditions to their approval of the project, citing concerns about affordability and unit sizes, and the impact on Fort Greene Park and on the surrounding community.

That effort has resulted in plans to build 11 projects and nearly 1,000 homes, Adams said in a press conference Thursday morning. "Where past administrations saw vacant lots and old office buildings, our administration saw housing," he said. He highlighted two new proposals on the Williamsburg waterfront and along the East River In East Harlem, where officials hope to build 900 and 800 homes, respectively. One-quarter of those homes would be set aside as affordable housing, Adams said.

Cuomo who only moved into New York City in September 2024 after living in Westchester, a suburban community north of the city has promised to build over the next decade half a million new apartments, two-thirds of which will be affordable. The plan offers tax incentives to private developers to build more residential developments. It also says it will loosen zoning laws to promote office-to-residential conversions.

A planning statement on behalf of developer L&Q explained the flats would form a "high-quality" development with a "high standard of residential accommodation".

A key community panel on Monday rejected plans for a casino next to the United Nations, marking the third casino plan to fail in Manhattan and ensuring no casino will be built in the borough in the immediate future. The rejection of the Freedom Plaza proposal, by a 4-2 vote, came despite last-minute sweeteners by the developer, who promised all of the housing created on site would be affordable. Separate community advisory committees last week rejected proposed casinos in Times Square and Hudson Yards.

Menlo Park last week moved forward with plans to convert three downtown parking lots into high-density housing, aiming to add hundreds of affordable units amid soaring housing costs, while preserving public parking for downtown businesses that say they are still struggling to recover from pandemic lockdowns. The city released its official request for proposals Monday, following city council guidance last month.

The Foothill-De Anza Community College District board unanimously approved a roughly $54.5 million purchase of 50 affordable apartments for staff earlier this month. The district will buy the empty apartments at 699 N. Shoreline Blvd. as part of an agreement with Mountain View Whisman School District, which owns and operates the 144-apartment complex as workforce housing for 53 households. About 20 apartments are reserved for Mountain View city employees.

Curry discussed her recent article for the California Planning and Development Report on Sacramento's attempt to use an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) to revitalize its downtown. The financing tool, designed to help cities fund projects like affordable housing and transit-oriented development without raising taxes, has struggled to gain traction statewide. Sacramento's effort to launch a district around its downtown railyards hit obstacles due to political disagreements and questions about long-term revenue streams.
