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.

005 The San Antonio Housing Trust with Pete Alanis
The San Antonio Housing Trust is one of our city's best tools to increase affordable housing production. As Pete Alanis, Executive Director of the San Antonio Housing Trust, explains, it has several sides to it, all aimed at putting more units on the ground, whether through its own emerging developer capacity or by partnering with local developers. He dives deep into what affordability really means and shares some of the factors that are driving costs up and pushing housing further and further out of reach for many. Despite this, he and his team have their own innovative tricks to combat this.
