Affordable housing A housing conference on Long Island, NY has geared developers to focus on building affordable housing. With prices depressing and building materials coming down in price, builders can build affordable housing during this lull in the market. Homes aimed at this demographic are guaranteed to sell and developers can be assured of keeping their employees working and income coming in the door.

With home prices dipping in some areas and builders complaining about a slowdown in business, a new effort to construct affordable housing on Long Island may be under way - although there are still plenty of roadblocks.

As real estate agents, mortgage bankers, builders, housing advocates and public officials discussed the state of Long Island housing during a conference called Real Estate Next, some indicated the softening of the market might open a door for new affordable developments or additional affordable components to existing projects.

“It’s good work in a slow market because affordable housing sells and there’s always demand for it,” said builder Michael Dubb, who heads the Beechwood Organization in Jericho,which is getting approvals now for an affordable project in Queens called Edgemere. via Newsday
