WHAT IS WORKFORCE HOUSING?

In most metropolitan areas across the country, many working individuals and families struggle to buy or rent housing in the areas in which they work. Workforce housing is largely defined as housing that is affordable to households earning incomes between 60-120% of area medium income; the renters living in this type of housing represent people seen every day, including people working in construction, retail, food service, hospitality, first responders, teachers, and healthcare workers.

What is Housing First?

Housing First is an approach to ending homelessness that centers on moving people experiencing homelessness into independent and permanent housing as a first step. It provides people with immediate access to permanent housing with no housing ‘readiness’ or compliance requirements, is recovery-oriented and centers on consumer choice, self-determination and community integration.

It is a rights-based intervention rooted in the philosophy that all people deserve housing, and that adequate housing is a precondition for recovery. The approach affirms that stable housing is a primary need, and that issues, such as addictions or mental health, can be better addressed once this need is fulfilled.

Housing First can be utilized and understood in 3 different ways:

🏘as a foundational philosophy embedded within a systems approach

🏘as a specific program provided by an agency or government body

🏘as a team designed to meet the needs of specific target populations.
