Strategies

Provide funding for local community development activities such as affordable housing, anti-poverty programs, and infrastructure development

Provide information about contraception and protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in classroom or community settings

Require developers to reserve a proportion of housing units for residents with low incomes via mandatory requirements or incentives, such as density bonuses

Acquire, hold, manage, and develop properties such as vacant lots, abandoned buildings, or foreclosures, and transition them to productive uses, often affordable housing developments

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

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