Summary:

Can affordable housing make the American Dream an American reality? The American Dream has always been built on the notion that no matter where you come from, you can be successful. Housing has always played a major role in making the American Dream a reality, but how exactly? In American Dream Come True, Tony Bertoldi leverages over two decades' worth of experience in affordable housing to explain in clear and entertaining prose what affordable housing really is and who it impacts. Spoiler alert: all of us. By debunking the common misconceptions about affordable housing, Bertoldi shows how supporting affordable housing is a benefit for the entire American ecosystem, and where you fit in. From addressing inflation, job creation, and creative ESG strategy, to reducing health costs for American taxpayers, Bertoldi shows how the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC, pronounced LI-Tec) program creates a more balanced society where people from all backgrounds can work, live, and contribute to their community. If there is any truth to the phrase "home is where the heart is, " then the call to action for all of us is the same-to put our heart into creating more affordable homes. It's good for individuals. Good for families. Good for health. Good for business. Good for America.
