Ron Beit discusses how it is possible to accommodate teachers housing and more without running afoul of federal fair housing rules. He cautions that a thorough understanding of state and local rules is necessary, but that it is possible to be creative in building houses. He emphasizes an all of the above approach to housing and encourage disparate public agencies to work together and work with private partners.
