While the development of additional affordable and deeply affordable units is always welcome, the process requires a great deal of funding and time on the front end, with no guarantee of a project’s approval. Therefore, Home for All is focusing its efforts on increasing affordability within the existing housing stock by working directly with rental property owners, landlords and municipalities to develop and implement strategies that mitigate risk and provide incentives for earmarking units as “affordable”, accepting Housing Choice Vouchers, and working directly with shelter organizations to move individuals and families into permanent, affordable housing.

Home for All organizes and hosts regular opportunities for rental property owners, managers, and landlords to come together and learn about subsidy programs, available resources, and creative ways to earmark units as affordable.

Home for All is also working on establishing a Risk Mitigation Fund, which would guarantee losses exceeding security deposits, and developing a Property Tax Credit Initiative that would allow communities to provide some level of tax relief to rental property owners making new units of affordable or subsidized housing available.
