There’s No Place Like Home
Good Housing Works supports the affordable housing and community improvement needs of the greater SF Bay area through the implementation of programs, directly or through community stakeholders, to develop affordable housing solutions through development and redevelopment.
Affordable Housing Developers such as the team at Good Housing Works typically acquire funding in the form of a subsidy. The subsidy most often comes from local, state, or the federal government, but it can also come from other sources.The subsidy can be used to help cover construction costs, rents, or operating costs.
What types of subsidies are used to help fill the affordable housing funding gap?
- Hard Debt
- Soft Debt
- Equity
- Grants and Other Subsidies
Depending on the specifics of an affordable housing project, we may use one, two, or all four of these types of assistance.
What are the benefits of affordable housing? A huge economic impact of affordable housing is the number of jobs it can create, both during the construction phases and ultimately through long-term societal growth.

Home, A Place To Build Memories
What does it mean to feel at home? A home provides security,belonging, identity, and privacy, among other things. Homes are very important to children because they help provide the sense of belonging that children need in order to establish strong connections. Most of all, it’s a place that provides us with a centering—a place from which we leave each morning and to which we return each evening. Everyone deserves a place to call home.
