Housing in a human right. Working people are being driven out of town because we can’t afford to live here anymore. Join us in our fight to build actually affordable, SOCIAL HOUSING here in Bozeman!
What is Social Housing?
Social Housing is a sustainable model of publicly owned and publicly developed mixed-income housing that would remain permanently affordable. We are in a growing housing crisis and the market-based “solutions” we have relied on for decades such as tax credits and vouchers continue to subsidize private developers. It’s time to stop subsidizing private developers and start subsidizing the people.
With Social Housing, local communities have the ability to control development to meet the needs of our community in Bozeman – including deciding the cost of rent, developing in a way that meets crucial sustainability standards, and creating communities welcoming to workers, families, and pets.
Red Vienna’s Housing Model
Plenty of countries have successful examples of social housing. One great example of this is in Vienna, Austria. Back in 2021, Zohran Mamdani made a video with the Gravel Institute on this model. This is only one example, what we are asking is the city of Bozeman simply look at the financial possibility of implementing a similar model through the use of revenue bonds
