"Developing Affordable Housing does what no other book I know has done?lays out in a practical, complete way all the steps nonprofits need to successfully develop affordable housing ... It should become required reading for anyone attempting their first or their fortieth housing project." ?F. Barton Harvey III, Chairman of the Board and CEO, The Enterprise Foundation "Many of today's most creative solutions to local affordable housing challenges arise from the innovative collaborations nonprofit organizations form with local government, the private sector, and philanthropic institutions. Mr. Hecht's thorough and insightful work serves as a nonprofit road map to develop more cutting-edge housing opportunities." ?Ann Marie Wheelock, President and CEO, Fannie Mae Foundation "The development of affordable housing is as much a journey as a destination. Ben Hecht's book provides maps and bridges while not losing sight of the challenging but elusive goal of providing decent, safe, and affordable housing." ?Nicolas P. Retsinas, Director, Joint Center on Housing Studies, Harvard University "Developing Affordable Housing is both a reference book and a comprehensive guide that every organization considering development of affordable housing should read first?a unique combination of the context and specifics that describes the complexities and pitfalls of affordable housing development along with how to do it and when and where to get help." ?Cushing N. Dolbeare, Housing Policy Consultant and founder, National Low Income Housing Coalition
