Look at these little sneaky snakes🐍 Developers openly talking about how they manipulated our government housing programs to make big $$$ and avoid actually providing low-income housing -- which is what they said they were signing up for when they set the Faircloth limit!
Screenshot of an article from a modular homes blog that reads: "With governments persuaded, the industry has access to subsidies for housing higher up the income scale, and to swell company profits. 

Attainable housing comes to be known as the more profitable government-subsidized housing from the ‘missing middle’ on up. ‘Affordable’ becomes the term for households with very low incomes, which is of little or no interest to for-profit developers.

The next time an “affordable” housing project comes across the desk at a modular factory, ask yourself if it really is a low-income project where you will be working for a couple of pennies on the dollar profit or is it the more lucrative “attainable” housing project from a for-profit developer where you can make substantially more profit?"

Show me a housing complex in LA that is affordable to working people and has as much green space as public housing. I'll wait.

Fun times with our public housing members at the HACLA Board of Comissioners meeting this morning. Demanding investments in their communities, not private ownership of their homes!
