People create community. The friends and family who give you a sense of belonging and security, the neighbors who look out for one another and are there to lift you up in times of need, the teachers, baristas, social workers, retail and service professionals that keep everything running. That’s why it’s important to provide for those who not only make up your community, but who make it operate. And that begins with providing them a safe, stable place to live.
Providing housing options for all ages and incomes can have a positive and profound impact on your community and everyone in it when it is built the right way, with the right intentions. And this is what the people at Pivotal are most proud of. Not just developing quality homes, but making your community a shining example of how providing for its people can create pride and confidence, improve the quality of your workforce and propel positive impact long term.

Affordable housing can be section 8 or subsidized just like any other property, but affordable/tax credit housing itself has no inherent subsidy going to the property or resident. Rents are based on the incomes of the communities where the development is located. If a prospective resident cannot pay the development rent, they cannot live in the community, just like in market rate housing.
A lack of affordable housing negatively affects many including seniors, entry-level and service workers and public sector professionals such as teachers, firefighters and police officers. Solving the affordable housing crisis means addressing the needs of the business community, working and middle class families and the broader population.
Affordable housing is affordable because private and public funds go into making it affordable to live in, not because it is lower quality or cheaper to build housing. In many cases, because affordable housing developments rely on some public funds, they have to comply with additional guidelines and higher standards than a market-rate development.
