This presentation by Robert Puentes was presented at a conference in Arlington, VA on meeting affordable housing challenges in communities facing high land values, little available land, and increasing public concern about growth and density. It focuses on large themes and argues that affordable housing must be connected to much larger pieces of the national, state and local domestic policy agenda.
