Third Way Network Documents

On of the main goals of Third Way Network is to encourage other communities, other cities, and eventually, other states to replicate the successful affordable housing model. As Third Way Network grows and continues to document successes, difficulties and everything in between, the “Tools to Take Action in Your Community” section will continue to grow.

Please take the time to read the in-depth information on the Third Way Network model for creating affordable housing.
