Community Challenges

○ Transportation Struggles

  • “Transportation is a huge issue in Hanover - trying to

find a place to live where you can access employment, shopping, and such.” ○ Jobs in Hanover don’t pay a living wage

  • “People are commuting to the West End/Short

Pump for decent work.”

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Add a footer

Housing Challenges

○ Substandard living for places that are affordable

  • Bugs, crime, and dilapidated.
  • Affordable homes need so much rehab work.

○ Not enough affordable apartments

  • Some seniors want to live in an apartment. I don’t want to maintain

a home anymore, I can’t.

  • Everywhere you look they are building 400K-700K houses."

○ Misconceptions/judgments about what affordable housing is

  • People think affordable housing is public housing or that Habitat

Homes are free.

Housing Challenges

Housing isn’t affordable for a lot of people

  • Incomes are not keeping up with housing and the cost of

living.

  • Most Hanover homeowners and renters are seemingly

spending closer to 50 or 60% of their income on housing.

  • I know of several families where they have multiple families

living in one house to afford the mortgage together.

slide-41
SLIDE 41

Housing Challenges

○ Continuous rent increases

  • "Three years ago the apartments that were working

with us were $800 and now they’re $1000… I have much less money for utilities and food. I’m not talking about transportation or Internet." ○ Housing affordability is impacted by other costs

  • Daycare
  • Medicine/Medical
  • The Cliff Effect

Habitat Homeowners

From hardship to stability…

Wife in restaurant management

○ “Where I lived (trailer park in Hanover), it was normal to put a bucket down if the roof leaked, if people had a gun, they would pull it on you, the pipes froze often and bugs and fleas were acceptable and it was a reality.” ○ “Habitat allowed us to work off our down payment. I used to move every three years… Now it is stability for me, our family and

  • ur children.”
