IF SOMEONE ISN'' T EXPERIENCING IT THEY LIKELY KNOW A PERSON WHO IS, SO STATES A NEW REPORT BY THE HOMES FOR ALL CAMPAIGN. YEARS OF LEAVING MATTERS OF HOUSING TO THE MARKETPLACE OR TO THE POLITICIANS OR LANDLORDS JUST IS NOT GETTING HOUSING.A NEW LAND OWNERSHIP FRAMEWORK MAY HELP. MODELS EXIST HERE AND WORLDWIDE. NEW YORK CITY CITY MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO HAS WAS PUT SOME FINANCING BEHIND NEW NEIGHBORHOOD LAND COUNTS ON. THE BRITISH LABOR EVENT ' S HOUSING PLAN INCLUDES A MILLION NEW HOUSES AND AFFORDABILITY DEFINED BY PREVAILING REVENUES, NOT RENTAL FEES. IN LOTS PLACES, THIS IS AN POLITICAL ELECTION YEAR. BY WHAT CRITERIA SHOULD REAL ESTATE POLICIES BE JUDGED? OUR GUESTS KNOW THIS FROM THE INSIDE OUT. GIANPAOLO BAIOCCHI IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE URBAN FREEDOM LABORATORY AT NYU AND THE LEAD AUTHOR OF THE COMMUNITIES OVER COMMODITIES REPORT. MONIQUE GEORGE IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF IMAGE THE HOMELESS WHICH WAS REALLY INVOLVED IN THIS RECORD. SHE EXPLAINS HERSELF AS THE PROUD ITEM OF PUBLIC HOUSING. PLEASED TO HAVE YOU. WHEN YOU SAY AREAS OVER PRODUCTS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? > > IN THIS RECORD, WE WANTED TO TAKE SUPPLY OF THE DISCUSSION WE HAVE >> BEEN HAVING AMONGST SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND ADVOCATES OF REAL ESTATE. THINK BROAD VIEW, WHAT DO WE MEAN? WHAT TYPE OF HOUSING DO WE WANT.IT CAME TO A VALUES CONCERN. WE BELIEVE HOUSING IS A RIGHT. WE BELIEVE COMMUNITIES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN COMMODITIES. WE WISH TO THINK ABOUT THE RIGHT TO HOUSING FIRST, BEFORE TALKING ABOUT PUBLIC LAW DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT WORKS. IT IS A WORTHS CONCERN. WE THINK BELIEVING OUTSIDE THE MARKET STRUCTURE IS IMPORTANT. > > THEY HAVE BEEN CONSOLIDATED BUY AND SELL VALUES. HOW DO YOU DEFINE THE CIRCUMSTANCE WE ARE IN? > > THE WORTH HAS GOTTEN SUCH IT PUSHED FOLKS AWAY. IF YOU LOOK ACROSS NEW YORK CITY CITY, YOU SEE THESE AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS GOING UP, BUT THEY ARE PAST THE REACH OF LOTS OF FOLKS. YOU AFTER THAT LOOK AND SEE, IS HOUSING A HUMAN? THAT IS OUR THINKING FOR THE MOVEMENT SIDE. WHEN YOU SEE THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE BEING DISPLACED, AN RISE IN FOLKS UPCOMING INTO OUR OFFICE.LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS. LOOKING FOR AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE, EITHER BEING FORCED OUT OR ON THE VERGE FROM COMMUNITIES THEY ARE BASED IN, YOU LOOK AT THAT AND SEE THE LOOMING SKYSCRAPERS. YOU BELIEVE, WE ARE THE ONLY ONE CLAIMING IT IS A HUMAN. > > WHAT TYPE OF NUMBERS ARE WE SPEAKING ABOUT? > > THE CITY CLAIMS 67,000 PEOPLE SLEEP IN SHELTERS EVERY EVENING. WE UNDERSTAND THAT NUMBER IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE. NOT TALKING ABOUT STREET HOMELESS. NOT TALKING ABOUT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE DOUBLED OR TRIPLED UP AT NYCHA. I THINK OUR ESTIMATE, IF YOU CHECK OUT THE BARRETTE OF DEEP SPACE, IS CLOSE TO OVER 100,000. > > THE REAL ESTATE RIGHT, IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU COMPRISE. THIS REMAINS IN THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION. IT APPEARS LIKE WE NEED MORE, UNDERSTANDING WHAT RESOLVES THIS PROBLEM. THEY ARE SORT OF CRITERIA. >> > > WE DESIRED TO DISCUSS WHAT TYPE OF REAL ESTATE WE WANT. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PLAN SOLUTIONS TODAY, WE THINK THERE IS A POVERTY OF CREATIVE IMAGINATION. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS WE ONLY TALK ABOUT COST. >> THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AFFORDABILITY PROBLEM. AS A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT, YOU SHOULD ASK, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ANY PERSON WHO LIVES IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING NOT IN PUBLIC HOUSING? NO ONE I KNOW. > > RELY ON HOW YOU DEFINE COST. > > BY THE GUIDELINES OF 30%OF YOUR AFTER RENT REVENUE. IT IS HARD IN NEW YORK. FIFTY PERCENT OF RENTERS IN U.S. NOT HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
>> ONE FOURTH ARE PAYING FIFTY PERCENT OR EVEN MORE OF THEIR EARNINGS. IT IS ABSURD. IT IS AN RIDICULOUS SCENARIO WE REMAIN IN. IT IS NOT JUST AFFORDABILITY. THERE ARE A VARIETY OF THINGS ON THE TABLE. REAL ESTATE REQUIRES TO BE AFFORDABLE. REASONABLE MEASURES. LONG-TERM. COMPONENT OF THE ISSUE LIKEWISE, LOWER RENTAL FEE HOUSING IS NOT STABLE. EXPULSIONS ARE REALLY HIGH. LOW EARNINGS PEOPLE GET EVICTED OFTEN. IT NEEDS TO BE INCLUSIVE.WHO IS THIS HOUSING AVAILABLE FOR? INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT FILES. PEOPLE WITH JAIL RECORDS. WE REQUIREMENT REAL ESTATE THAT IS CLEAN AND HEALTHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IN SOME WAYS. IN NEW YORK,
WE HAVE A TROUBLE WITH HOUSING CONDITIONS. ONE IN 4 HOMES HAS A CODE INFRACTION. WE NEED REAL ESTATE THAT IS DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED. WE WANT THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO HAVE A SAY, CONTROL OVER THE HOUSING ITSELF. SOMETIMES IT SUGGESTS PAINTING. An AREA SHOP. THE FORM OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. COMMUNITIES REQUIRED TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE IT. > > WHAT DID YOU DISCOVER? > > FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, THE U.S. MODEL, ONE OF THE MOST PRIVATIZED ON THE PLANET. 97%OF HOUSING IN THE U.S. IS PRIVATE. >> SOME OF THE WEAKEST RENT DEFENSE LEGISLATIONS. IT HAS FELL SHORT ON ALL OF THOSE, NOT A SURPRISE. IF WE CHECK OUT EUROPE, OTHER COUNTRIES, THOSE WITH BETTER PORTIONS OF SOCIAL REAL ESTATE DO BETTER. WE WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT ALTERNATIVES THAT MEET OUR STANDARD PROPERLY AND WELL AND WORK. WE SPEAK ABOUT LIMITED EQUITY COOPERATIVES. NEIGHBORHOOD LAND TRUST. THIS MODEL FROM EUROPE, GERMANY, TENEMENT DISTRIBUTE. AND A LATIN AMERICAN VERSION WHICH WE THINK IS SUCCESSFUL. > > LET’S SPEAK ABOUT ONE OF THEM.THE LAND COUNT ON IS ONE YOU HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN. MAYOR DE BLASIO IS SETTING FINANCING BEHIND NOT SIMPLY LAND TRUSTS. WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW? IS THIS A NEW POINT? >
> IT IS NOT A NEW THING. WE HAVE COOPER SQUARE, ALMOST THREE DECADES OLD. IT IS NOT A NEW PRINCIPLE. A RECENT IDEA FOR A LOT OF FOLKS >> AND A VARIOUS CONCEPT. RENTERS INTEGRATING TO OWN THE LAND. THEREFORE BY STATING THE AFFORDABILITY ON THE LAND COULD BE PERMANENTLY, BUT TECHNICALLY 99 YEARS. AND LOTS RENEW FOR ANOTHER 99. IT IS REALLY ABOUT COST. BEING ABLE TO SAY THIS BUILDING WILL CERTAINLY REMAIN AFFORDABLE, REGARDLESS OF THE BORDERING STRUCTURES. WE SEE THAT NOT ONLY AS A DESIGN BUT THE MODEL TO RETAIN AFFORDABILITY.FOLKS, IF THEY ARE ON A FEW OTHER TYPE OF ASSISTANCE. THEY ARE HOMELESS, THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY REVENUE. WE HAVE TONS AND TONS OF FOLKS THAT NEED HOUSING. > > TALK WITH US ABOUT HOW IT
WORKS. THE LAND IS HELD BY A PUBLIC TRUST FUND. INDIVIDUALS CAN STILL, AS IT WERE THEIR OWN RESIDENCES. YOU ARE TRY OUT A DESIGN IN THE >> EAST EL BARRIO. > > IN THE EAST, THE EAST HARLEM EL BARRIO, WE HAVE 5 BUILDINGS IN THE PIPELINE. THREE OF THE BUILDINGS HAVE TENANTS. WE ARE AT A STAGE >> WHERE OUR NONPROFIT DEVELOPERS ARE GOING INTO THE HOUSES TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUES ARE. SEVERAL OF THESE BUILDINGS ARE QUITE OLD. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL APARTMENT OR CONDOS. REALLY, WHAT WE NEED TO BRING THEM UP TO CODE. SEE HOW THEY CONTAINER BE EXPANDED. SOME HAVE TO BE DEVELOPED INTO HANDICAPPED EASILY ACCESSIBLE APARTMENT OR CONDOS. PEOPLE ARE PAST EXCITED. I DON’T THINK THERE IS A DAY WE DON’T GET CALLS ABOUT HOW TO GET IN THE STRUCTURE. WE HAVE OTHER IN THE PIPELINE, HOW CONTAINER WE GET ENTAILED? > > HOW DOES THAT PIPELINE BECOME– HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? HOW DOES THE CITY OBTAIN CONTROL, OF NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS? > > IT BEGAN WITH A DISCUSSION, THE DEPARTMENT OF REAL ESTATE AND PRESERVATION, AND THEY HAVE BEEN RECEPTIVE TO THE IDEA.THEY REALIZED LOTS OF FOLKS WOULD BE INTERESTED. A GROWING NUMBER OF, PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED TALK WITH FOLKS AT COOPER SQUARE. THEY GET ECSTATIC. WOW, THIS IS AN REAL OPTION THAT COULD KEEP United States.
> > WHAT TAKES PLACE TO THE STATE? A GREAT DEAL OF THE DESIGNS, COMMUNITIES CONTAINER COME TO BE THEIR OWN OWNERS. FANTASTIC. TAKE HOUSING PROBLEMS OFF OF THE STATE’S HANDS. WE STILL REQUIREMENT PUBLIC HOUSING WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THIS MIX >>? > > THERE IS A ROLE FOR THE STATE TO PLAY IN IT. WHAT THAT COULD RESEMBLE, OUTSIDE OF FUNDING, THERE IS INITIAL FINANCING FOR OUR BUILDINGS. NONPROFIT DEVELOPERS WILL HAVE TO COMPANION WITH FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. IT WOULD BE AWESOME> IF THEY PARTNERED WITH THE STATE. THE STATE PUT FINANCING INTO AREA LAND TRUSTS, NOT RIGHT HERE BUT THROUGHOUT NEW YORK CITY STATE. WE GO TO A MEETING EACH YEAR. VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE COUNTRY, STATES ARE PULLING IN AND SUPPLYING FINANCING. THE NONPROFIT DEVELOPER DOES NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. > > TWO INQUIRIES. HOW DO YOU GET THE CITY ON BOARD? THE OTHER ONE, YOU POINTED OUT VERSIONS, A COMMUNITY OR STATE IS DOING THE RIGHT POINT? > > WE CONTAINER SPEAK ABOUT THE URUGUAY EXAMPLE. IT IS NECESSARY TO UNDERSCORE SOMETHING>. THE STATE NEEDS TO PLAY A ROLE. A LAND COUNT ON IS A PUBLICLY HELD TRACT. ALL THE SUCCESSFUL MODELS WE KNOW OF, LOCAL GOVERNMENT> AND STATE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOUND UP PLAYING AN ESSENTIAL FUNCTION. I DO NOT KNOW ANY EXAMPLE THAT WOULD NOT HAVE STATE PARTICIPATION. IT IS An INQUIRY OF NATIONAL POLITICS AND POLITICAL WILL. THE URUGUAY TALE IS INTERESTING. THEY HAVE THIS MODEL OF COOPERATIVISM. YOU CAN AID BUILD THE STRUCTURES WHICH KEEPS THE EXPENSE DOWN. INDIVIDUALS OFTEN HAVE THOSE KINDS OF SKILLS. THE CITY OF MONTEVIDEO HAS A HIGH PORTION OF REAL ESTATE AS COOPERATIVE.I THINK THEY HAVE 300,000 HOMEOWNERS ALL TOLD. THESE ARE DEMOCRATICALLY RUN, BOTTOM-UP, SIGNIFICANCE YOU TIN NOT DEAL. WE COLLECTIVELY MAKE A DECISION WHAT TO DO WITH IT. > > THERE ARE DESIGNS WHERE YOU CANISTER MARKET BUT AT A CAP TO RATE.
THERE ARE DESIGNS WHERE YOU HAVE SOME LEVEL OF EXCHANGE. > > ONE POINT YOU FIND OUT ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD LAND TRUST FUND, PEOPLE FEEL HOMEOWNERSHIP IS A METHOD TO PASS ON STABILITY. YOU TIN OWN A HOME. >> YOU COULD SELL THAT PART. IN A RESTRICTED EQUITY CO-OP, YOU TIN MARKET YOUR SHARE.YOU BOUGHT IT FOR $25,000. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SELL$ 50,000. >> > > THIS IS ELECTION YEAR. PEOPLE ARE EXCITED. HOW DID YOU OBTAIN THE MAYOR ENTAILED? IT IS A NEW DAY. > > WE WERE DOING THIS METHOD PRIOR TO I OBTAINED THERE. I HAVE BEEN THE EXEC SUPERVISOR, 14 MONTHS.
OUR MEMBERS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS. 6, 7 YEARS. >> FUNCTIONING TO NOT SIMPLY OBTAIN THE WORD OUT TO CAPACITY BUILDINGS BUT ACTUALLY PUSHING ELECTED OFFICIALS AND THE MAYOR THAT THE IDEA IS A FEASIBLE IDEA.TRULY AFFORDABLE HOUSING, REALLY ACCESS THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY NEED THAT. IF THE CITY IS DEDICATED GOING DOWN ON THE HOMELESS, THIS IS THE WAY TO GET PEOPLE INTO AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE. A MASS EXHILARATION. INDIVIDUALS TIN VIEW ON OUR WEBSITE, THEY CANISTER COME AND VOLUNTEER.
> > IT IS NOT JUST FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE HOMELESS. > > NOT AT ALL. > > THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT CANISTER NEITHER BUY NOR RENT AFFORDABLY. > > PEOPLE TEND TO THINK HOMELESS FOLKS ARE NOT WORKING. 45 %IN FACT FUNCTION ON A DAILY BASIS. THE COST IN THE CITY HAS GOTTEN SO BAD, IT IS DIFFICULT TO ENTER SOMETHING YOU CAN LIVE. > > TO CLARIFY THIS INQUIRY OF> AFFORDABILITY, THEY ARE SHIFTING THE INTERPRETATION. >> HOW IS IT SPECIFIED TODAY AND HOW SHOULD IT BE DEFINED? > > GOVERNMENT IT ' S 30%AFTER TAX OBLIGATION INCOME.WHEN WE DO INCLUSIONARY ZONING IN NEW YORK CITY WE USE MEDIAN INCOME.

THE FACT THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE INCARCERATED, THEY NEED TO LEAVE THEIR AREA. THEIR FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING. THEIR COMPANION, THEIR HUBBY
, IS INCARCERATED SOMEWHERE. WHEN THEY RETURN, IT IS A LITTLE A DISASTER. THERE WERE NEVER LOTS OF PLACES FOR THEM TO GO. YOU CAN ' T GET AREA 8 HOUSING IF YOU HAVE BEEN INCARCERATED. >> SO, INDIVIDUALS END UP HOMELESS. IF YOU JAILED, YOU COME BACK, INDIVIDUALS ALREADY BEING DISPLACED, YOU CAN NOT GET AREA 8 HOUSING. YOU END UP IN THE ROADS. IT IS A CALAMITY FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, AT LEAST IN OAKLAND. > > THIS DETAILS PROJECT HAS LESS RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AND EVEN MORE RESTORATIVE BUSINESS ECONOMICS. THERE ' RE OTHER CONCEPTS IN THERE ABOUT BRIDGING THE DIGITAL LIGHT AND MANUFACTURE FOR LOW-INCOME AREAS OF COLOR. WE WILL CERTAINLY HAVE SOCIAL ENTERPRISES ON THE GROUND FLOOR. THIS REALLY CONCENTRATES ON THAT ITEM. HOW DO YOU TAKE THE PROGRAM AND MAKE IT BASICALLY FUND THE TASK? WE ARE WANTING UNUSUAL NEW THINGS. SOCIAL IMPACT BONDS. HOW YOU SPEND FOR THINGS DIFFERENTLY. AS OPPOSED TO YOUR DEVELOPER.
>> I HAVE TO MAKE MY CASH BACK AND A LOT OF MONEY. > > AMONG THE FASCINATING POINTS, FROM THE FOR-PROFIT DEVELOPERS, THERE ARE SOME WICKEDNESS ONES AROUND. I DO NOT THINK THAT CAN BE DISPUTED. THERE ARE SOME THAT HAVE A NEED TO DO GOOD. OR ARE OPEN TO A METHOD THAT PERMITS THEM TO PRODUCE SOMETHING THAT IS FINANCIALLY LASTING BUT ALSO SOCIALLY IMPACTFUL. WHAT THEY REQUIRED IS A STRATEGIC DIRECTION THAT IS HELPING THEM DO THAT. IT IS NOT COMING IN AND SWING THE FLAG, OH THE POOR INDIVIDUALS, YOU MUST DO THIS.HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR GOALS AND TRYING TO COLLABORATE WITH THEM CREATIVELY TO IDENTIFY, HOW DO WE MAKE THE NUMBERS WORK? HOW DO WE MAKE SURE WE ARE SUSTAINING THE COMMUNITY? HOW ARE WE THINKING DELIBERATELY ABOUT SOME OF THE MATTERS WE ARE DOING? THERE IS A PROJECT IN CHARLOTTESVILLE. AS A RESULT OF THE MODIFICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE, FEDERAL SUBSIDIES, NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED AS COMBINED EARNINGS. THAT IS THE REALITY OF LOW REVENUE. THERE IS NO CASH FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO PERFORM JUST LOW INCOME. WHAT WE STARTED GOING OVER IS IF YOU BEGINNING DOING IT, PHRASE WE ARE BRINGING THEM HERE, WE HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BY THE FACT THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE EXACT SAME PROPERTY, THERE IS NO COMBINATION. HOW DO WE THINK INTENTIONALLY ABOUT THE ACTIONS WE ARE DOING? THE SERVICES WE ARE CREATING.AMENITIES THAT BOTH CONTAINER INTEGRATE. THINGS THAT CONSTRUCT AREA. TO SAY, LET’S NOT CREATE SOMETHING THAT IS SIMPLY DUPLICATING THE TRANSGRESSIONS OF THE PAST. I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, A HISTORIC AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY. INDUSTRIAL. POWERPLANT, TREATMENT PLANTS. ALSO, A GREAT DEAL OF THE PUBLIC HOUSING. THE AREA WAS THE ONE WHO LOBBIED FOR THE POWERPLANT AHEAD DOWN. A TEAM OF MOTHERS LIVING IN PUBLIC HOUSING BESIDE THE PLANT THAT LED THE BATTLE. THE POWERPLANT CAME DOWN. 30 ACRES IN ITS WAKE.THE ENERGY FIRM CLAIMED THE DIRT BUT CAPPED IT WITH ASPHALT
. YOU HAVE 30 ACRES OF ASPHALT. 5-10 ADVANCEMENT CYCLE A MINIMUM OF. MY TEAM OF DESIGNERS, MY COMPANY AND OTHERS, WERE BROUGHT IN TO ATTEMPT AND TURN IT RIGHT INTO AREA BENEFIT. WE HAVE BEEN DOING AREA PROGRAMS. THE IDEA IS WITH THE ADVANCEMENT PROJECTS, YOU ARE CHECKING OUT LONG TIMELINES. HOW CANISTER YOU CREATE SOMETHING THAT ADVANTAGES THE AREA NOW? WE CAN ALWAYS BE RESOURCEFUL. WE DO TASK TRAINING WORKSHOPS. SHOT TO CREATE LOCATIONS OF PLEASURE IN ADDITION TO GET SKILLS. > > WHEN WE BUILD THINGS, HOW CANISTER WE START TO CONSTRUCT A FEW OF THE HISTORY BACK IN? HOPEFULLY WE CONTAINER DO THAT WITH EITHER THE RETAIL COMPONENT OF SOMETHING. EXISTS A MEANS TO HAVE THE AREA DO AN ART PIECE? THAT IS STILL HERE? THAT IS HERE NOW? WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN THE PAST TO MAKE A MARK ON THE LAND? > > WE COORDINATED WITH STORYCORPS. WE INVITED COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO RECORD TALES. EVERY TALE THAT IS VIDEOTAPED AS AN AUTHORITIES STORYCORP RECORDING. IT GETS ARCHIVED IN THE COLLECTION OF CONGRESS. FOR MANY INDIVIDUAL, IT WAS A WAY TO SAY, YOUR STORY WILL NEVER EVER BE LOST. >> ♪ [STYLE MUSIC] ♪.
