Yeah I mean it's a slippery slope to be name dropping, but in this instance, idk.

What's the business?

Be a shame if this guy's employer caught wind of this and a new position opened up.

I don't because I'm just now familiarizing myself with the state. Regardless I agree and am currently seeing why from the inside lol.

Being an outsider, this really makes me wonder what the situation is with the HUD field offices, state agency, and lenders that is causing these "inefficient silos" mentioned in the article.

I've read that RI's housing situation is especially difficult, in part because there is so little investment on the affordable housing side.

In this situation, I always put my signal on before I finish passing the guy on the right so that we don't run the risk of the guy behind me thinking that I'm not moving over. After I get a safe distance, I'll move over. If I dont do this, he will most likely thread the needle. The guy behind me probably gets pissed because I'm doing it too slowly, but oh whale.

Everybody has the same sentiment in near every state with some tourist attractions.

I think many people hear the term "affordable housing" without knowing what it means so they draw conclusions. Projects funded through the LIHTC program, in my state at least, are being built to very good quality for the tenants. Of course, it depends on the developers and the Agency processing the applications.

It depends. I'm from PA and work in affordable housing. Sometimes the developer will foot the entire utility bill but, most of the time it's the tenant paying into what's called a utility allowance which is a fixed amount.

The total of the tenant-paid rent and utility allowance has to fall under HUD's limits on the specific rents in a certain area.

If I had my computer, I'd open up Photoshop right now and add a white layer over top of the shark background, then increase the transparency to whatever works. That at least solves the issue of clashing text and backgrounds.

That or they use microfiber towels that have been through the ringer. When I was a young and new detailer at a dealership, I accidentally used the wrong microfiber and put a bunch of swirls into a brand new black Macan Turbo. Never made that mistake again.

And that's why bills are being passed on a semi-frequent basis and include items pertaining to environmental efforts.

You're looking at this at an extremely surface-level POV. You just mentioned moving the plant somewhere else, not possible, let alone feasible.

Money is very much being spent on this but there's so many levels that you don't see immediate effects, especially at this level.

u/deleted?

Yeah I imagine they combine the numbers. My state for example awarded between 30 and 40 last year so I'd imagine RI is lower based off of population alone.

I work for another state's housing agency (identical to RI Housing) in the multifamily development division and was looking for this comment. Do you know how many multifamily affordable projects on average that RI Housing awards credits / funding to each year?
