Transforming Stretford: Aamer Shah's Ambitious Plans for a Ten-Bed HMO on Barton Road. More details on https://lnkd.in/eRt9XxQK - In a bold move to address housing needs in Stretford, Aamer Shah has submitted a planning application to Trafford Council that seeks to convert a modest two-bedroom semi-detached home on Barton Road into a ten-bed house of multiple occupation (HMO). This proposal is noteworthy not only for its scale but also for the strategies promised to mitigate community concerns such as noise disturbances and anti-social behavior. By engaging an accredited management company and incorporating various enhancements, Shah aims to create a thriving communal living environment while maintaining the integrity of the neighborhood. This article will delve into the intricacies of the HMO conversion proposal, the planned enhancements for tenant well-being, and the potential impact on the Stretford community.

Two affordable housing initiatives are under discussion for North San Diego County! 🌴 1️⃣Del Mar is discussing developing affordable housing on the current Del Mar Fairgrounds site. The goal is to provide at least 61 affordable housing units on one to two acres, fulfilling part of Del Mar's commitment to adding 113 affordable units to the community. 2️⃣Encinitas is also addressing its own affordable housing challenges by considering a project that would develop 15 homes and up to 30 accessory dwelling units on a Quail Gardens Drive city-owned site. This initiative represents a step towards meeting Encinitas' need for 838 lower-income units. What do you think of these two proposals?

Someone in the comments stated the Villa at Titusville is already beginning to show signs of decay and destruction. Birmingham Housing Authority just like City of Birmingham provides housing for the least likely to excel beyond government dependency to becoming productive and sustainable citizens. Both BHA and the City of Birmingham the two entities support young women with dependent children instead of citizens who are working towards earning a higher education, entrepreneurs, and middle age to older people. The Birmingham Housing Authority and the City of Birmingham place the wrong type of people in new housing, and the citizens who take pride and care of their housing and homes are displaced and put on the back of waiting lists for housing and emergency rental assistance. Therefore, the new new communities built and in the blueprint phase will in five to ten years decay and begin to look like yesterday’s government housing projects. In retrospect, what do I know about housing, placement and displacement? https://lnkd.in/eFHnjPkc

Can #AffordableHousing truly knit a community back together? How often do we witness transformative developments that genuinely improve lives? Recently, the James Lewis Jr. Apartments were featured in The Post and Courier (written by Ali Rockett), highlighting the significant impact the community has on the lives of residents and the community on Charleston's East Side. Esther Davis, a resident of the complex, shared her journey from a challenging past to finding peace (and a fresh start) in her new home in Charleston. Her story bears witness to the development’s #CommunityImpact, which provides a sense of ownership and pride. The building, which houses 64 affordable units for those earning 60 percent or below of the Area Median Income, filled up within 30 days of opening — a clear indicator of the critical need for such housing. The city's contribution of $7 million through Affordable Housing and the strategic lease of land at $1 per year underscore a commitment to affordable housing that ensures long-term community benefits. The property's design to revert ownership back to the city after 60 years guarantees that it will remain an affordable haven perpetually. This development, which took nearly 14 years from planning to completion, is not just about building homes but about restoring a fragmented community. The vision of leaders like Councilman James Lewis, Jr., who championed affordable housing to "knit back together" the East Side, is now a living reality. Let's celebrate these milestones in affordable housing and continue to support initiatives that offer more than just a roof but a pathway to a better life.

With Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing) laying the “golden brick” on its 1,000th genuinely affordable new home this month, it’s a great time to visit one of the council’s big housing projects, Acton Gardens, with regeneration manager Sarah Phillpot , to understand the ingredients for the success of this 3,500-home, 20-year, £1 billion-plus scheme. She talks about galvanising the local community, designing appropriate infrastructure, and asset ownership and management models. Above all, she says, the strong relationships between the council, L&Q and Countryside Partnerships, local residents and businesses, to provide new homes on this scale requires “really committed leadership” to see it through “the trials and tribulations inevitable in a programme over 20 years”.

Important to reiterate this part of his post: "An under-appreciated part of this success: the 2016 Zoning Update that made it so much easier to expand housing choices, in large part through significant reductions (or in Downtown, elimination) of parking requirements." You can either build housing for cars or housing for people. You can't efficiently or affordably accomplish both.
