Program description
Quality affordable housing has been an expressed need in
various communities in both rural and urban areas of
Missouri. This type of housing development can take
place successfully through a participatory planning
process in which all the community state-holders are
involved. The goal of this program is to prepare
extension specialists to serve as educators and
facilitators in this participatory process to enable the
community to successfully develop quality affordable
housing in their area. This program will cover issues of
consensus building, trust generation, forming community
coalitions, generating action plans for affordable
housing development. In addition, this program will
provide information about various types of affordable
housing options available and funding sources for this
type of development.
Target audience
Community stake-holders in communities that have
affordable housing needs.
Anticipated outcomes
- The communities where this program will be implemented will develop coalitions and skills to foster quality affordable housing development in their area through the facilitation by extension specialists.
- They will also develop an understanding that stereotypical notions about affordable housing is incorrect and be exposed to various forms of housing development along with the type of public and private financial support available to generate this type of development.
- Communities will be able to identify important stakeholders within and outside their communities who would help them to achieve their goals.
- Communities will be able to develop an action plan for affordable housing development and carry it through.
