Seven principles for success

1. Make Policy Goals Explicit2. Tailor Housing Strategies to Local Market Conditions3. Housing Markets are Regional4. Income Policy is Housing Policy5. Regulatory Policy Makes a Difference6. Race Matters7. Implementation Matters

Principle Three: Housing markets are regional—Housing policies should be, too

Private Sector Jobs, 2000

Source: U.S. Census Bureau Zip Code Business Patterns

BROOKINGS INSTITUTIONMETROPOLITAN POLICY PROGRAM

Housing markets are regional—Housing policies should be, too

Do not cluster affordable homes in low-income neighborhoods, especially in the core

Enable low-income households to live closer to employment centers and better schools

Aim for this… …instead of this

Income policy is housing policy

• Local leaders can impact household incomes and, by extension, housing affordability

• Raise the incomes of working families through earned income tax credit, nutrition assistance, health care, and child care

Think of affordable housing as workforce housing

Housing policy needs to be implemented in an integrated, accountable and sustainable fashion

• Housing programs should connect directly with other neighborhood interventions (e.g., schools)

• Hold implementing agencies accountable through performance measures

• Economic integration is the principle vehicle for sustainability
