Goal 1: Expanding Investment in Housing and Other Real Estate

Physical redevelopment, especially as regards affordable housing, is fundamental to the recovery of places stung by years of disinvestment and decline. New construction and preservation efforts eliminate vacant, blighted properties and clean up environmentally contaminated land. They create quality, affordable homes that root families, and--by putting rents and mortgages within their reach--ensure they have more disposable income to spend on local goods and services. A more stable residential base supports growing neighborhood businesses, and a better physical environment helps drive neighborhood safety while attracting additional private investment.

The built environment is critical to a healthy Sustainable Community. It is the most visible evidence of new growth and opportunity, and it fuels wider related gains that have a lasting impact.
