Dignified Affordable Housing
Monday, January 07, 2008
There are a number of architects and non-profit organizations working to create dignified affordable housing that can improve people’s lives. Three of them share their personal projects and experiences with affordable housing: Marianne Cusato, created Katrina Houses for the Gulf Coast, Andrew Bernheimer, worked on green low-income apartments in East New York, and Lori Girvan of Common Ground, a non-profit that places people in lower income houses and owns several buildings in New York City.
