Producing Affordable Housing in Rising Markets: What Works?

To address the challenges of affordable housing in rising markets, a multi-faceted approach involving federal, state, and local governments, as well as nonprofit organizations, is essential. Key recommendations include understanding and improving the productivity of existing affordable housing programs, reducing regulatory burdens to lower development costs, and leveraging public-private partnerships to attract private capital. By implementing these strategies, policymakers can enhance access to affordable housing in areas with high job growth and public amenities, promoting inclusive economic development and ensuring that low- and moderate-income families can thrive in revitalizing urban areas
