Mission Affordable
We can increase the affordability of cities by building more missing middle housing on vacant lots, but we need to train up more people to become small-scale, mission-oriented developers to go out and do it - people like you.

004 Inner City Townhome Development with John Cooley, Terramark Homes
John Cooley of Terramark Urban Homes talks about how they have navigated the local codes and affordable housing incentive programs to introduce more affordable homeownership in older neighborhoods through townhome development. He talks about adapting to a shifting market by exploring the rent to own model, and then talks about two of their recent projects, both of which are on the Westside of San Antonio – one called The West End at Frio which is 24 units that was structured as a partnership that included the landowner, the City of San Antonio, and the San Antonio Housing Trust, and another one that’s in the works that is a partnership with a local church.
