🎧 Episode 118 – The Hidden Value of Resident Services

What if the key to stronger affordable housing communities isn't just building more homes, but investing in the people who live in them? This week on Housing for Good, Chris Goodson and Karolyn Moore welcome Althea Arnold, MPP, Senior Vice President for Policy and Chief Operating Officer at Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF). Althea shares research showing that affordable housing properties with resident services had 26% higher net operating income than comparable properties without those services. Together, they explore how resident services improve housing stability, why rental assistance remains critically underfunded, and how research and personal stories can help shape housing policy. From homelessness to homeownership, discover why successful affordable housing requires more than bricks and mortar.
