Strategies

Provide funding via tax credits at the state and local level to support development and rehabilitation costs of low income rental housing

Use traditional and digital media to disseminate information about safe sex

Support initiatives that combine multiple components such as education, skills building, and contraceptive promotion to reduce pregnancy among youth

Establish tenant protections via regulations to the housing rental market such as limits on rent increases and eviction protections for tenants with low incomes; typically via rent stabilization

Promote abstinence from sexual activity, generally only with mention of condoms and birth control to highlight failure rates

Create designated tax districts that generate revenue to invest in affordable housing initiatives, blight remediation, and economic development efforts
