Now, many are focusing on how to stabilize and grow the sector by insuring that new and existing developments are structured financially so they will both remain in the housing stock for the long term. (f) Broad Embracing of Mixed-Income Communities The federal government’s emphasis on supply from the 1950s to the 1970s had another unexpected outcome: extreme concentrations of low-income people in a limited number of neighborhoods.
