Atlanta just closed the first deal with its new housing production fund; it’s actually a private project, though a local official says they hope to eventually finance publicly owned housing.
Other places that have considered or taken up the idea — sometimes called social housing, as it’s referred to in Europe — include New York and Massachusetts, as well as Chicago and Chattanooga, Tenn.
It has to be federally funded for it to work everywhere, local Governments are so financially constrained. But I suppose funding genocide is more important.
