> "...the goal of the city or the non profits (Genossenschaften) is to provide housing, not selling flat." I can only speak for NYC and the efforts here. We have a dog's breakfast of different efforts--housing lotteries, Section 8, and programs for down-payment assistance to buy a home for first time home buyers. I made use of the last program, having had no success in the first for the past 13 years (I've received probably 3-4 letters from different lottery programs saying I was moving up in the program, but they always fizzled out). > "There's a goal that 1/3 of all housing in the city has to be non-profit by 2050, this was voted back in 2011" This sounds like a remarkable program. I wonder about these non-profits. Who runs them, how are they governed, what is their measure of success (since it's not monetary), and how do they measure it. https://housingconnect.nyc.gov/PublicWeb/search-lotteries https://www.nyc.gov/site/nycha/section-8/about-section-8.pag... https://www.nyc.gov/site/hpd/services-and-information/homefi... |
