Spring 2022 BSUS Capstone
The larger sustainability framework of the 2030 district allows for focused study, investment, and education in Green Affordable Housing practices that will improve the affordability, health, resilience, and social equity in this community. The COVID-19 Pandemic has highlighted the inequities such as rent burden and outdated housing stock of the Uptown portion of the Cincinnati 2030 district. This neighborhood will not be able to meet its full potential without all residents having access to safe, efficient, and affordable housing.
