The Benefits of Affordable Housing Are Many
Not only does affordable workforce housing change the lives of its residents, the benefits are passed along to the community in significant ways. It revitalizes neighborhoods and promotes economic and social integration while building community.
​
Ferry Crossing in Old Saybrook, The Lofts at Spencer's Corner in Essex, and Wellington at Madison in Madison are examples of architecturally congruous affordable housing communities that add needed variety in the types of homes available in our region. Without quality places to live, that are also affordable, our communities cannot thrive.
The Broader Benefits of Affordable Housing
​
In addition to helping residents, today’s affordable housing benefits the wider community in significant ways, including:
Providing housing for the local workforce, especially lower wage earners
Revitalizing distressed areas
Directing economic benefits to the local community, such as increased jobs and sales taxes
Promoting economic and social integration while building community
