1 Infill Development Infill development involves building and developing in vacant or underutilized areas in cities or suburbs. This creates efficient use of land and infrastructure by redeveloping areas within existing communities, by introducing new housing types, by increasing property values, and leaving rural areas and open spaces undeveloped. Infill development can reduce traffic congestion, save open space, and create more livable communities. Communities can promote the use of infill housing by anticipating barriers to development. These barriers can include land availability, the quality of infrastructure, possible environmental contamination, financing, zoning, and conformity requirements. Identifying priority sites for redevelopment, providing information on sites through an abandoned land inventory, and targeting development in key infill locations are techniques that communities can use to reduce the number of problems developers encounter which will encourage infill development.

3 Housing for Retail, Public School, City, and Child Care Employees Cities can offer special tools such as a Security Deposit Loan program for rental housing and a Down Payment Assistance program for first time home buyers, specifically for public sector workers, who often are middle income. Employer assisted programs are also made available on occasion. Some common benefits to employees include purchase guarantees, construction financing, housing site subsidies, purchase of mortgage backed securities, mortgage buy down programs, down payment loans, group mortgage insurance, mortgage guarantees, closing cost assistance programs, and group mortgage orientation plans. These benefits may be available to all employees or limited to specific segments of the employee population, such as first-time home buyers. Benefits may be available for all homes, or homes that meet specific criteria, such as homes located in specific neighborhoods. Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. A Blueprint for Employer- Assisted Housing. (accessed 14 December 2006). Describes the differences between demand and supply programs for promoting affordable housing. The article goes on to give examples of each program. The site also a good resource because it provides a series of links to different affordable housing programs. Fannie Mae. Housing Solutions.

4 Housing for Seniors Accessory dwelling units include units those, for example, that are above the garage apartments, granny-flats or mother-in-law apartments. These can be either attached or detached. Often, zoning ordinances do not permit accessory dwelling units; however, these are most convenient affordable housing units for elderly family members or college students that can also assist first time homebuyers in supplemental income for the mortgage payment. By creating this type of affordable housing, shortages decrease, wealthy communities can still prosper and more units generate higher property tax revenue. Municipalities can also offer programs that help to match seniors with other unrelated adults in mutually beneficial home sharing arrangements. Permitting and encouraging other types of development for independent living, assisted living and continuing care communities is also key to providing adequate housing opportunities for seniors. Independent Living Communities are designed to enable independent seniors to enjoy a lifestyle filled with recreational, educational and social activities amongst other seniors. Assisted Living provides a special combination of residential housing, personalized supportive services and care. Continuing Care Retirement Communities are residential campuses that provide a continuum of care -- from assisted living to skilled nursing care, all in one location. Other key land uses that support the senior population, such as pharmacies, medical offices, and grocery stores, should be located nearby these facilities, and should be convenient and easily accessible for seniors.

Transportation and mobility are other key factors tied to livable communities. OKI Resource Listing Housing Options 4

5 Zoning for Affordable Housing Techniques used within local zoning codes often have the effect of eliminating or discouraging the creation of affordable housing units. Inclusion of smaller lot residential zones or overlays to create the option of smaller lots, allowing higher densities, providing density bonuses, permitting manufactured housing with compatibility and design standards, and allowing accessory dwelling units are all options that would increase the availability of housing for low and moderate income families Friends of Florida. Expedited Permitting: Ensuring Expedited Permits for Affordable Housing. (accessed 6 February 2006). This article discusses a program in Florida that requires local governments to expedite the permitting process for developers intending to build affordable housing. Cutting back on delays in the building process should save developers money, which will help keep affordable housing affordable. Arigoni, Danielle.

8 Affordable Housing Partnerships (AHP) Local and regional government, private local banks, and homebuilders, can form strategic partnerships with public, private and nonprofit organizations to create and maintain affordable housing. These partners can work together to enhance marketing of affordable housing projects, create low cost loan programs, provide down payment assistance, provide housing counseling, and provide tax credit consulting. Jurisdictional partnerships are also important to ensure that a wide array of housing options are available throughout the municipalities, county, or region. Coordination between local governments can help to address the costs of providing affordable housing, and to work toward equitable distribution of the costs of providing necessary services to the residents of the community.

11 Low-Income Housing Tax Credit The United States Congress established the Tax Reform Act of 1986 to promote the development of low-income rental housing through tax incentives rather than direct subsidies. Congress provided the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) for taxpayers who are owners of qualified rental projects where all or a portion of the units are reserved for occupancy by low income tenants. In Ohio, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency has used the Housing Credit Program to facilitate the development of affordable rental housing units in Ohio. In Indiana, the organization that administers the competitive process by which tax credits are awarded is the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (HCDA), a quasi-state government agency. In Kentucky, the Housing Credit Program is administered by the Kentucky Housing Corporation. Kentucky Housing Corporation. Housing Credit Program. (accessed 6 February 2006).

12 Housing Trust Funds Housing trust funds are established by cities, counties and states that dedicate sources of revenue to support affordable housing. Housing trust funds are usually created by legislation or ordinance. These funds do not depend on interest or earnings from a fixed fund or on contributions from corporations or foundations. By dedicating public sources of revenue, Housing Trust Funds create an ongoing stream of revenue to support affordable development. This enables a jurisdiction to provide a flexible source of financial resources to address unmet housing needs of low-and moderate-income households. County Corp. Housing Trust. (accessed 6 February 2006). OH, Supervised by County Corp, the Montgomery County Housing Trust funds housing needs for low and moderate-income households.

14 Inclusionary Zoning Local governments can adopt zoning ordinances that require a certain percentage of the development to be affordable housing, or may offer density bonuses to developers who choose to dedicate a portion of the development to affordable housing. Density bonuses allow a developer to build more units in a project than would otherwise be permitted under conventional zoning. By permitting the construction of more units than allowed under the zoning regulations, this technique can provide an economic incentive to set aside a number of units for affordable housing. This program can be mandatory or voluntary with incentives. Local governments can also influence the type of residential development through expedited review processes, reduced permitting fees and density bonuses for affordable housing developments. This will reduce pre-development costs and remove obstacles for developers and encourage them to include affordable housing in development plans Friends of Florida. Linkage Fees and Inclusionary Zoning. (accessed 6 February 2006). FL, Signifies affordable housing as an important aspect of smart growth. The article also asserts that local governments are responsible for helping the private sector build affordable housing, and views inclusionary zoning as a sound incentive for accomplishing this goal. The article goes on to explain details about inclusionary zoning, and highlights benefits accrued for smart growth through such zoning. The article ends with a list of common elements found in most inclusionary zoning ordinances. Brown, Karen Destorel. Expanding Affordable Housing through Inclusionary Zoning: Lessons from the Washington Metropolitan Area. The Brookings Institution, (accessed 6 February 2006). This paper studies inclusionary zoning programs in the greater Washington area. The author seeks to rate the effectiveness of these policies, identify obstacles to inclusionary zoning, and recommend areas in need of change, to ensure future successes of inclusionary zoning ordinances. To illustrate her points, the author draws on four case studies from Maryland and Virginia. The Cape Cod Commission. Inclusionary Housing Bylaw/Ordinance for Towns in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Barnstable County, Massachusetts, (accessed 6 February 2006). Barnstable County, MA, This model inclusionary zoning ordinance was created by the Cape Cod Commission as a reference to help towns in Barnstable County create affordable housing programs.

Highland Park, Illinois. An Ordinance Amending The Highland Park Zoning Code of 1997, As Amended, to Inclusionary Zoning Regulations for Affordable Housing. Highland Park, Illinois, (accessed 6 February 2006). Highland Park, IL, This amended zoning code has added Article XXI, entitled Inclusionary Housing. This is a good basis for planning inclusionary zoning because it provides many good definitions and gives in depth detail of what is intended by inclusionary housing. The article also establishes strong standards and regulations that may stand as good models. Metropolitan Mayors Caucus. Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance Drafting Tool. Chicago, Illinois, (accessed 6 February 2006). This model ordinance is intended to help guide communities who wish to create their own inclusionary zoning ordinances. It provides model guidelines, as well as notes to each section, explaining the purpose of different elements. The model also notes that inclusionary zoning ordinances may be much simpler than the provided model, but they all must include five key elements: 1) the threshold coverage level, 2) percentage affordable housing, 3) target income categories, 4) cost offsets, and 5) in lieu of alternatives. Montgomery County, Maryland. Development Including Moderately Priced Dwelling Units, Sec. 59-C-1.6. Rockville, Maryland, (accessed 6 February 2006). The zoning code for Montgomery County, Maryland waves some building requirements for moderately priced housing units. Such requirements include density standards, unit types, and dimensional requirements. I may have missed it, but I didn t see anything for inclusionary zoning. OKI Resource Listing Housing Options 15

16 Land Acquisition and Preparation for Affordable Housing Local governments often have little control over many factors that affect housing prices, such as interest rates and material costs; however, municipalities can play a key role in developing lowcost housing by acquiring land specifically for the development of affordable housing. Municipalities can purchase land, or acquire substandard housing through condemnation, to 1) sell to a nonprofit or affordable housing developers; 2) rehab and sell directly to low-to moderate-income home buyers at a low price; or 3) offer reimbursements for land acquisition, site preparation and development costs for the construction of homes with certain conditions attached regarding the type of home and the sale price. New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal. HOUSE-NY. (accessed 6 February 2006). House-NY is a new housing initiative to encourage local communities to assess their housing needs and create shovel-ready housing sites.
