Affordable Housing Preservation in Washington, DC uses the case of
Washington, DC to examine the past, present, and future of
subsidized and unsubsidized affordable housing through the lenses
of history, governance, and affordable housing policy and planning.
Affordable housing policy in the US has often been focused at the
federal level where the laws and funding to build new affordable
housing historically have been determined. However, as federal
housing subsidies from the 1960s expire and federal funding
continues to decline, local governments, tenants and advocates face
the difficult challenge of trying to retain affordability amid
increasing demand for housing in many American cities. Now, instead
of amassing land, financing and sponsors, affordable housing
stakeholders must understand the existing resident needs and have
access to the market for affordable housing. Arguing for
preservation as a way of acknowledging a basic right to the city,
this book examines the ways that the broad range of stakeholders
engage at the building and city levels. This book identifies the
underlying challenges that enable or constrain preservation to
demonstrate that effective preservation requires long-term
relationships that engage residents, build trust and demonstrate a
willingness to share power among residents, advocates and the
government. It is of great interest to academics and students as
well as policy makers and practitioners internationally in the
fields of housing studies and policy, urban studies, social policy,
sociology and political economy.
