Building a Better Future Together: Affordable Housing Initiative
District Council 11 is proud to stand alongside housing advocates and elected officials in a groundbreaking initiative aimed at transforming the landscape of affordable housing.
Initiative Overview:
Through the proposed public housing developer model, we're championing the use of union labor to build not just homes but hope. Our dedicated VOC members are leading the charge, ensuring that every nail driven and wall raised contributes to a community where everyone has a place to call home.
The Role of Union Labor:
This model emphasizes the importance of union labor in construction projects. By employing skilled union workers, we guarantee quality craftsmanship and fair working conditions, promoting equitable wages and comprehensive benefits for our members.
““By establishing a public housing developer and land bank, Rhode Island aims to significantly boost affordable housing development and ensure that these projects are built with quality and sustainability in mind.””
Impact on the Community:
Affordable housing is crucial, and this initiative aims to address this need by creating sustainable, affordable living spaces. Our union's involvement ensures that these projects are built to last, providing security and support to families in need.
Recent Developments:
Advocates have unveiled new bills to create a Rhode Island public housing developer and land bank. These bills are designed to enhance affordable housing efforts and ensure sustainable development. This initiative aligns perfectly with our goals and reinforces the importance of using union labor to achieve these outcomes.
