Housing Development

The Housing Development group supports developments which incorporate a variety of housing choices to promote diversity within a community, including but not limited to diversity of race, ethnicity, income level and disability status. It also advances initiatives which are integral parts of an overall community development strategy that addresses and directs resources to documented community needs.

In assisting the development of affordable, safe, decent and sanitary housing and promoting all aspects of quality housing, ACED is guided by the following goals:

  1. Quality construction, including shared financing partnerships and active participation of Minority/Women Business Enterprises
  2. Quality project management, including fair housing procedures, to ensure equal housing choices for all participants
  3. Demonstrated community need for proposed projects
  4. Complementary development as part of a larger socioeconomic plan in communities where developments are proposed
