Line 71:
* Among YIMBY’s goals is to overcome the widespread confusion arising from many believing financially attainable quality housing only refers to subsidized housing. <br />
* '''There is a shortage of financially attainable quality housing for 76% of our neighbors -- from the homeless up to households making $100,000 per year.''' <br />
* Although all of our neighbors can contribute to creating a regenerative culture in Greater Reno by re-balancing their time and financial resources, the better off among us have a special capability to drive the Regenesis transformation. For insight on how we can all create a regenerative culture together, please contact us at ''Regenesis in Reno'' below.</small> <br />
<big>'''Identifying and Recruiting Developers for 1,000 Units of Housing'''</big><br />
* We are working with the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency (TMRPA) and real estate experts to determine the best parcels for building the first 1,000 housing units within TMRPA’s Scenario 4: Infill. Their four scenarios illustrate where 43,000 additional housing units could be built over the next twenty years to accommodate a growth in population of 100,000.<br />
The TMRPA’s Scenario 4 Infill:<br />
* Emphasizes policies that encourage growth to go to already developed areas<br />
* Maximizes the use of small lots and promotes a mix of uses<br />
* Seeks to identify infrastructure challenges in areas deemed suitable for infill redevelopment and increased density<br />
* Allows changes to existing zoning<br />
We will recruit developers for these projects locally and out-of-state by creating and presenting packages of specific opportunities. Many experts and stakeholders will be deployed to detail ways to overcome barriers to rapidly break ground.

* Higher priced housing helps protect lower income residents. In a growing economy, higher income newcomers compete for older housing stock and outbid lower-income residents. Adding supply at all levels helps protect existing non-wealthy residents from being priced out of their homes.<br />
* Effective ways to protect and preserve existing affordable housing units include community land trusts, resident owned and controlled cooperatives, the Small Sites Acquisition Program, Real Ownership Opportunities for Tenants Program (ROOTS), maintaining strong tenant protections, promoting homeownership, improving access to credit in minority and low-income communities, opposing abusive withholding of housing benefits, expanding federal funding for subsidized housing, providing lawyers for at-risk tenants and homeowners, and building more housing.</small><br />
