Presentation Title Presentation Title TOPIC What is to be considered affordable housing? Affordability mean different things to different people, generally Speaking, it refers to the ability of a household to pay for a house by way of rent or mortgage TEXT The 4 most accepted attempts at defining affordability: Expenditure-to-income Benchmark approach The concept of housing affordability is measured by the income and expenditures of a household to pay for the price or rental of a house. The expenses allocated for buying a house is 30 percent of household monthly income.

Presentation Title Presentation Title TOPIC What is to be considered affordable housing? Cont’d The origin of the standard can be traced back to an old aphorism that one should devote “a week’s wages to a month’s rent,” which itself is based on studies of what typical families spent on housing going back to the late 1800s. The notion was that if housing accounted for more than this share of income, there would not be enough left over to pay for life’s other necessities. This 25 percent of income standard was incorporated into laws for federal housing assistance programs in the 1960s and 1970s. However, in the early 1980s, new legislation increased the standard to 30 percent for most programs. Since then, the 30 percent of income measure has been the norm for defining housing affordability.

Presentation Title Presentation Title TOPIC What is to be considered affordable housing? Cont’d 4. Incremental approach This is better illustrated with the example given by Tayo Odunsi in his book titled “Affordable, thinking critically and differently about affordable housing”(2018) ...say you need to build a house for $100,000 over 12month period, and all you can afford at the time is 30%, which is $30,000. If you start the development with the #30,000 in your account and expend it over three months, by month four your affordability level is no longer 30%; it is now 0%. In reality, at that point, you may have saved up some additional cash; for example, $700. Consequently, what you can afford now is 10% ($700 is 10% of the $70,000 required to complete the development) TEXT
