Affordable Housing is an important sector within real estate. Poverty is a major issue in the United States and people who fall into this category will continue to need housing. The revenues derived from building affordable housing typically do not create profitable projects and without government assistance, would never be built. The successful development of Affordable Housing depends heavily on the work of government programs such as HUD to provide funding. Local jurisdictions also play a large part by incorporating affordable housing requirements for new projects and partnering with private developers to provide creative financing such as Low Income Housing Tax Credits.
