This is the first I have heard of Habitat for Humanity building multifamily homes, and I have to say it’s pretty cool. Housing subsidies and projects only perpetuate the cycle of poverty — 70 years of public housing and are there any less people on assistance?…and for that matter, how many generations of the same family get assistance? Usually when something doesn’t work for seven decades, you try something else. Habitat homes can break this entitlement cycle and work people back into the economy as workers and property owners.

Let’s bring some of this into Bushwick!
