Support government policies that create and preserve housing for all socioeconomic demographics, from working families to seniors.
If you own a business, pay your employees a living wage. Check in regularly to make sure you’re not paying women less. If you are, make adjustments. Be flexible with your hours, if you can, to accommodate working parents. Consider providing or compensating for child care, which is prohibitively expensive for most families.
If you own property or have extra room in your home, consider renting it out at an affordable rate to aging seniors, people with disabilities, formerly un-housed residents, families with children or lower-wage workers.
Consider investing in Goose Creek Community Land Trust, an organization attempting to leverage resident money to provide housing for people across the socioeconomic spectrum.
