Shaver Green Building to Offer Sustainable Workforce Housing
“Workforce housing” is a term being heard more and more, used place of the more familiar “affordable housing”. It differentiates between housing that is intended to accommodate people from the lowest income brackets, and housing for the lower middle class, people who have steady employment but have been priced out of the housing market in many areas.
According to Wikipedia, workforce housing has four defining elements:
- Affordability
- Home Ownership
- Key Workforce (in other words, composed of critical members of a community’s workforce such as police officers and teachers), and
- Proximity (to employment centers)
