Promoting Affordable Housing near Transit

Concerned by the area down Anderson Hall that connects our campus with the train station, I decided the topic of my essay will be “the process of gentrification.” Here I found a useful website directed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Human Development and the United States Department of Transportation. Both entities provide in their page an organized and well- constructed project that intends to create livable communities in proximity to transit. This report includes interesting strategies and viable actions for funding affordable housing near a train station. It also enounces possible financial incentives that one might want to consider when running the task.
