Digital access has also emerged as a factor. As more services shift online, gaps in digital literacy and access to devices or affordable internet can limit residents’ ability to navigate housing systems, benefits, and employment opportunities.

Alani points to the importance of “stronger capital planning, better data, and sharper prioritization,” alongside efforts to pursue funding for both growth and retrofits. Sustainability-related funding, in particular, is seen as a way to modernize buildings while reducing long-term operating costs. 8
