Top Ten State and Local Strategies to Increase Affordable Housing Supply

The Housing Facts & Findings newsletter published by Fannie Mae Foundation in January (Volume 5, Number 1) carried the following article authored by Arthur C. Nelson. Nelson is Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in Urban Affairs and Planning at Virginia Tech’s Alexandria Center. He is also Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners and Senior Fellow of the Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech. The article has been reproduced here, with the permission of the Fannie Mae Foundation, because the strategies discussed may be of value to Florida’s counties and cities seeking ways to meet the state’s growing shortfall in affordable housing.
