How to get it done
How IHI can help:
The Innovative Housing Institute is an experienced non-profit whose core expertise is in planning for and implementing inclusionary housing. IHI's staff is a small yet efficient team that will work with you as you work towards your inclusionary, fair and affordable housing goals.
The Innovative Housing Institute has worked with several cities and counties around Baltimore, MD, where the organization is based but has also done work in seven other states. For example, in Decatur, GA, IHI worked with the city and private developers to plan for a mixed income development in the heart of the city. In Saratoga Springs, NY, IHI provided inclusionary housing advice and conducted workshops with developers to aid in the preparation of a City ordinance. IHI also developed an affordable housing strategy in Isle of Wight County, VA. These are just a few examples from the very large body of diverse work done by IHI.
IHI is led by Patrick Maier, the Executive Director. IHI's board of national experts, associates and staff members work together to prepare housing need studies, guide the development of housing strategies and provide consulting assistance to communities and governments considering inclusionary policies.
