Discuss Inclusionary Zoning Doug Ryan, Assistant Director of Federal Programs at Montgomery County's Housing Opportunities Commission, will be discussing "Best Practices in Inclusionary Zoning Policy" on Tuesday, May 15, at noon in FHEO Conference Room 5202.
Montgomery County, Maryland, has one of the
oldest and most successful inclusionary zoning ordinances in the country.
The Housing Opportunities Commission-the local PHA and largest affordable
housing provider in the county-has leveraged the ordinance to build over
10,000 affordable homes for low and very low-income families. Doug Ryan
will discuss the inclusionary zoning ordinance's impact on housing patterns
and demographics, the evolution of the law over the years, and data supporting
how scattered-site, moderate, and low-income housing can be inclusive and
not burdensome to communities.
Doug Ryan has more than 20 years of experience in federal, state, and local housing and community development programs. He has worked as a housing developer, Senate aide, and serves as a member of the Montgomery County Human Rights Commission, in addition to his service with HOC.
Limited seating is available. Please RSVP to TuesdaySpeakerSeries@hud.gov to reserve a seat.
Christopher W. Williams, Ph.D., Director of the Washington
Liaison Office of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat,
will be discussing "Adequate Housing - Rights, Practices, and Possibilities"
on Tuesday, May 29, at noon in Brooke-Mondale Auditorium A.
The UN recognizes a human right to adequate housing - "the right of every woman, man, youth and child to gain and sustain a safe and secure home and community in which to live in peace and dignity." In debating the boundaries of this right, global focus has renewed on a "right to the city" and the placement of affordable housing. Dr. Williams will explore these debates, explain UN-Habitat's approaches to urban planning and design, and reflect on affordable housing initiatives in the U.S., including the HUD-DOT-EPA Partnerships for Sustainable Communities and neighborhood revitalization projects such as Boston's Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative. Dr. Williams is the Director of the Washington Liaison Office of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat, the agency of the UN responsible for housing and urban development.
Limited seating is available. Please RSVP to TuesdaySpeakerSeries@hud.gov to reserve a seat.
Pattillo will discuss the on-the-ground limits and challenges of "mixed-income" housing policies as they relate to the topics of race, class, politics, planning, governance, and social interaction by presenting research on various mixed-income developments in Chicago. While noting the success stories and benefits, Pattillo highlights the risks of gentrification, displacement, and the "tyranny of the middle class" in such developments, and the role of public housing authorities in the business of building market-rate housing.
