From NIMBY to Neighbor:Affordable Housing Development in Tompkins County

A 2003 Report for CRP 558: Housing Workshop

D+E|E+D


The number of bed-nights provided by the Red Cross grew 58% over the past three years.

In 2002 demand for beds in the county shelter system

exceeded capacity by 239%.

A majority of the county’s low and lowest income residents pay

greater than 30% of their income on rent.

D+E|E+D


barriers to affordable housing:

• Community resistance Zoning restrictions and stigmaSingle-family homesLarge, .25 acre lots

• Infrastructure limitationsAccess to TCAT or public servicesWater and sewage systems

• Topographical limitationsSteep slopesLand shortage

D+E|E+D


proposed solutions

Community Resistance Replace myths with facts about affordable housing

Educate about successful management techniques Impress with effective, contextual architecture

Infrastructure limitations Engineer cost-effective solutions Plan for transit accessibility

Topographical limitations Develop construction techniques for steep slopes Design for efficient land use
