In fast-growing areas where job opportunities are booming, there is a critical shortage of affordable middle-income housing. This shortage poses a significant challenge for essential workers such as nurses, teachers, and firefighters, who earn too much to qualify for government housing subsidies but struggle to afford market-rate housing. To address this issue, the concept of attainable housing or "missing-middle" housing has emerged, aiming to provide housing options for middle-income households without relying on subsidies. Public/private partnerships hold the potential to play a crucial role in tackling this pressing housing challenge and ensuring that essential workers have access to affordable housing options.
