Big development for the development of affordable housing in one of Maine's most affluent communities. "Community Housing," i.e. affordable housing on publicly owned land - is feasible! Don't just take Cynthia Dill's word for it. The experts have weighed in and the resounding message is clear. "It can be done, and it should be done!"

Paving the way to affordable housing one podcast at a time. This week - save the date! June 26th is your next opportunity to join a movement.

Exciting developments for anyone following the housing issue in Cape Elizabeth, Maine - a seaside village of 9300 residents just south of foodie-artsy Portland. At a housing committee meeting last night the embattled town planner conceded there is likely 10 acres of buildable land that "we the People" own AND the code enforcement officer says 10 acres is all we need to build Multiplex Housing AND the new state law, LD 2003, says if we make Community Housing an "affordable housing development" we get a bonus density. BINGO! It looks like we could have ourselves some affordable housing, Captain.

The road to affordable housing in Maine communities is paved with good intentions and the potholes tricky to navigate. Should you need a lawyer to buy a new mobile home in America? This week's podcast pits a true story of need against the politics of a small town.

After a bout of self-imposed radio silence Cynthia has an updated message about affordable housing in Maine and Cape Elizabeth. Mobile Home Micro Loans and Community Housing can help us get there.
