Affordable Housing Demonstration: A Case Study, Santa Fe, New Mexico
This report describes the Affordable Housing Demonstration Project constructed in Santa Fe, N. Mex., as part of HUD's Joint Venture for Affordable Housing. The project brought builders and local officials together to identify ways to reduce the cost of housing and to modify or interpret local building codes and site development regulations so that these methods could be used. Fairway Village, the Santa Fe project, is located on 31 acres of level land in an area targeted for annexation by the city. Initiated in December 1982, the project resulted in several variances, including smaller lots, a smaller park with playground, sidewalks on only one side of the street, narrower streets and rights-of-way, roll curbs, and regular inspections by the authorities to minimize project delays. The 154 single-family detached homes were built at a density of 5 units per acre and at sales prices of $49,950 to $61,950. The cost-saving steps used in the project produced an average savings of $9,140 per unit. Targeted to the young professional market, the 47 homes in Phase I of the project were sold less than 1 month after the opening of the 3 demonstration models. Photographs, tables, diagrams, drawings, and appendixes presenting details of the changes, the project schedule, and task force information are supplied.
