mixed-income housing

Economically integrated residences

Mixed-income housing is residential development designed to include units at different price points, typically combining market-rate apartments with subsidized or affordable units in the same building or community.

The approach aims to avoid concentrating poverty in isolated areas: The city replaced the old projects with mixed-income housing.

Developers often receive tax incentives or zoning allowances in exchange for including below-market units.
