Across this nation, housing is considered a basic need and it the obligation of any administration, local, state, or national; to ensure policy is enacted and executed to meet desirable ends. The nation has to improve the overall quality and access to fair housing in this country. Housing equals human flourishing, because it has the ability to determine: wealth creation and assets, ownership, deterrence of criminal activity and involvement, improve graduation rates and educational quality, life expectancy, household income, health, and the like. The government, residents, and developers are expected to create inclusive communities which are strong and sustainable.
