Mari Flores of @HabitatDenver: "NIMBYism can make affordable housing appear as a Band-Aid solution rather than the long-term affordable housing solution it really is." #HabitatontheHill

Thank you @MichaelBennet for spending a snowy morning with us touring our Aria Homes by Habitat - 28 homes in a Community Land Trust - and discussing solutions to Colorado’s affordable housing crisis. @HabitatDenver @CostOfHome

One straightforward solution to the current nationwide housing supply shortage is simple: build more homes. But the sad reality is that in many places, builders aren’t allowed to. Learn more through this insightful Vox piece.

"develop near transportation, convert underutilized real estate, spur construction of more affordable homes via tax incentives-less-stringent zoning rules &pro-housing policy will help prevent many Americans from being permanently excluded from ownership" https://t.co/7fRVhKIxFk

Opinion | "We see only half of the equation. We see the supply of new housing, but not the supply of new households. And new housing has not kept up with new households. Not even close." https://t.co/YVZZKJe58F

@TheEllenShow Be grateful.

"Perhaps no other feature of White attitudes...is as cumulatively responsible for the pain and privation experienced by our nation's Black minority at this point in our history as is indifference”

“The pandemic worsened disparities across society — in unemployment, education, housing, health and even survival. Whatever it felt like ... Americans are clearly not in this together. Until the country’s deep inequalities are eliminated, we will not be.” https://t.co/u44oCq6OM3

Thank you!

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Housing should be a right — not a privilege. But far too many people are struggling to keep a roof over their head. I look forward to working with @SecFudge to help renters and homeowners get through this crisis and ensure every American has access to quality, affordable housing.

[Heather Lafferty @hlaff9]

“Housing is a right in America, and homeownership is an essential tool to wealth creation and to be passed down to generations,” Biden said as he signed the order.
