LOCALLY-INITIATED AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS IN ISRAEL

Israel doesn’t currently have legislation for affordable housing or inclusionary zoning. Not waiting for the implementation of requisite legislative and policy changes, many local initiatives have sprung up, aiming to provide affordable housing on the ground. The survey, conducted in 2012 by Sarah Kreimer and Chaim Fialkoff, has two principal goals: A. develop a database of information on relevant initiatives, and B. analyze the needs face faced by these initiatives.
