inclusionary housing models

Inclusionary housing models are policies or programs that require or encourage developers to set aside a portion of new housing units for low- or moderate-income residents. The goal is to promote socioeconomic diversity within communities by ensuring affordable options are available alongside market-rate housing. These models can take different forms, such as mandated quotas, voluntary agreements, or financial contributions to affordable housing funds. Ultimately, inclusionary housing helps create more equitable, diverse neighborhoods and addresses housing affordability challenges by integrating different income groups within the same development.
