mixed-income

Multiple earning levels

Mixed-income refers to residential developments or neighborhoods that include housing units for people across different income levels, often combining market-rate units with subsidized or affordable housing.

These projects emerged in the mid-20th century as an alternative to concentrated public housing, aiming to reduce socioeconomic segregation.

Mixed-income developments often involve tiered rent structures and may include incentives for developers, such as tax credits or zoning variances.

The city approved a mixed-income housing project to replace the old public housing complex.
