The Role of Nonprofit Housing Developers in Addressing the Affordable Housing Crisis: A Case Study of Linc Housing
Get PDFNonprofit housing developers are playing a critical role in addressing the affordable housing crisis in society. However, they face significant challenges in the current housing landscape. To explore this topic, this project takes a case study approach, using Linc Housing as the primary case study to examine the impact of nonprofit housing developers on the affordable housing crisis and the challenges they face. The project involves a literature review to identify the impact nonprofits can have, key issues, and challenges faced by nonprofit housing developers in the current housing landscape. Additionally, data is collected on Linc Housing\u27s affordable housing development projects, including funding, and community engagement strategies. The analysis of the case study and data collection findings provides insights into the impact of nonprofit housing developers on the affordable housing crisis and the challenges and opportunities they face. The findings of the project suggest that nonprofit housing developers like Linc Housing play a critical role in addressing the affordable housing crisis, especially for low-income communities. However, they face challenges such as financing, zoning regulations, and community opposition. The project recommends improving strategies such as public-private partnerships, creative financing mechanisms, and community engagement strategies. By using Linc Housing as a case study, it provides practical recommendations for improving nonprofit housing development strategies and contributes to the existing literature on affordable housing and nonprofit housing developers
Voice Exhibit Design and Construction of Temporary Structures
Get PDFThe Voice Exhibit showcases the testimonials of BIPOC and queer environmental engineers, activists, and industry professionals and shares the connection between sustainability and identity. The goal of the builder was to utilize a condensed Design Build methodology and project management tools learned throughout his time at Cal Poly in order to deliver a design with a temporary structure for the showcase. Design of the exhibit floor, post + curtain barrier, testimonial displays, and bay door mosaic was done after a meeting by the show runner, architect, and builder was conducted. The barrier and exhibit floor design were created after a site survey utilizing takeoff software and CAED programs. After the design was approved by the show runner, an initial estimate came just under budget. With the use of recycled materials and donations there was a large reduction in the final cost of construction material while maintaining the vision sought by the showrunner. Temporary structures were constructed for the exhibit with easy dismantling in mind as after the event was complete a majority of materials were reused or donated in order to maintain the overall message of sustainability
