One of the primary barriers to creating affordable housing in rural communities is the lack of funding and capacity to plan and execute large-scale, long-term projects, and to create the partnerships necessary to ensure the project is cost-effective and sustainable. Small communities often do not have the resources and expertise to go through the lengthy and complex processes (including conducting research and securing funding) that are necessary to building a multi-unit housing project.
An affordable housing project requires specialized knowledge and experience, and that's where we come in. Our team can successfully execute your project within a timely fashion, providing proven and streamlined processes that results in significant cost reductions, reduced risk and smarter decisions.
SHI has developed a three phased model to assist in accessing funding for the development and delivery of affordable housing that is tailored to the unique needs of your community, on a cost-recovery basis. In addition, SHI has also developed a Step-By-Step to Developing Affordable Housing to document its process.
