The Institute for Public Administration (IPA), a research and public service center in the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration, recently released a policy brief titled Analysis of Models for Workforce Housing Villages. This brief, authored by Sean O'Neill, IPA policy scientist, and Ella Dietz, Biden School summer undergraduate fellow, evaluates some workforce housing models nationwide that have focused on providing affordable housing for local teachers. Residents and elected officials across Delaware have “expressed interest in developing workforce housing for employees in critical jobs that support their local communities.” The University of Delaware’s Community Engagement Initiative (CEI) requested this analysis to explore potential nationwide models for workforce housing villages that could be pursued in Delaware, especially for coastal Sussex County. This brief provides six examples of workforce housing locations across the country, demonstrating potential models that the state of Delaware can utilize in the future as models for development.
