  • 1.  Community input - adaptive reuse

    Posted 07-08-2025 04:02 PM
    Does anyone have experience with design/funding/building single-room occupancy or similar shared residences? I work for a national homeless advocacy organization and we are looking to mount a campaign to address empty buildings, and of course the terrible shortage of viable low-cost housing. Would love to hear any thoughts, experiences, etc!

    Thanks!!

    Hello Megan -

    I had the pleasure of learning more about your organization's great work from Donald Whitehead, Jr. at an AIA co-sponsored panel I moderated at the Habitat World Urban Forum in Cairo this fall. Simon Ha, AIA also presented and organized the conversation.

    A couple of resources you and others might find of interest are:

    Glad to hear from you and anyone else interested in this topic. 

    Best, Kathy
