Kusowa kwa nyumba ku Tacoma kuli ponseponse. Mavuto ambiri omwe anthu ammudzi mwathu akukumana nawo ndi ovuta kuwathetsa chifukwa palibe nyumba zokwanira anthu okhala kuno. Pamene tikuwunikiranso za Home in Tacoma chaka choyamba chokhazikitsa, ndikofunikira kuti tichite izi mogwirizana ndi khama lalikulu la City of Tacoma lolimbikitsa chitukuko cha nyumba zotsika mtengo.
Mzinda wa Tacoma unatsogolera pakusintha malo, kuyambira ndi kusintha kwa Dongosolo lake Lonse mu Disembala 2021 ndikutha ndi kuvomereza kwathunthu kusintha kwathunthu kwa malo okhala mu Novembala 2024. Ndikunyadira kuthandiza mwachindunji panjira yakale iyi ku Planning Commission komanso ku City Council. Kusintha kumeneku, komwe kudayamba kugwira ntchito mu February 2025, kumalola nyumba "zosowa zapakati" zomwe zimafunikira kwambiri m'njira yoyang'anira madera athu ndi chilengedwe. Cholinga chathu ndikuwonjezera njira zopezera nyumba kwa aliyense, ndipo ndikusangalala kwambiri kuwona chiyambi chabwino chotere mu deta yomwe yaperekedwa.
M'chaka chake choyamba chokha, kusintha kwa malo kwalimbikitsa ntchito zomanga nyumba m'madera osiyanasiyana ku Tacoma, zomwe zapangitsa kuti pakhale nyumba zambiri kuposa zomwe tawona m'zaka zaposachedwa. Poyerekeza ndi avareji ya zaka zisanu zapitazi m'madera awa, tawona kuwonjezeka kwa 39% kwa mapempho opempha chilolezo ndi kuwonjezeka kwa 62% kwa chiwerengero cha nyumba zomwe zikuganiziridwa, ngakhale kuti ntchito zolola chilolezo zikuchepa kwambiri m'dera lonse la Puget Sound.
Deta ikusonyeza kuti chitukuko sichimangokhudza gawo limodzi la mzinda - kuchuluka kwa nyumba (ndi chiwerengero cha mayunitsi) ndikokwera kwambiri ku Eastside (25%), West End (21%), ndi South End (18%). Izi zikusonyeza kufalikira kofanana kwa kukula pakati pa madera omwe kale analibe zipangizo monga Eastside ndi South End.
Kuwonjezeka kwa njira zopezera nyumba kudzera mu Home in Tacoma ndi gawo la njira yathu yayikulu yolimbikitsira chitukuko cha nyumba zotsika mtengo ku Tacoma. Izi zimakhazikika pa zomwe tachita kale, monga kuvomereza msonkho wogulitsa Nyumba kuti tipange Affordable Housing Fund (AHF). Kuyambira 2020 mpaka 2025, pakati pa ndalama za boma zoyendetsedwa ndi City ndi AHF, City yayika ndalama zoposa $20 miliyoni kuti ithandizire chitukuko cha nyumba zotsika mtengo 608, ndipo pafupifupi $38 miliyoni yowonjezera ikuthandiza nyumba zina 630 zomwe zikukonzekera.
Pamene ndikukondwerera zotsatira zolimbikitsa izi zoyambirira, ndimayang'ana kwambiri zomwe tingachite kuti tilimbikitse chitukuko chomwe anthu ammudzi wathu akufuna. Izi zikuphatikizapo kuyang'anira momwe zolimbikitsira zathu zopezera nyumba zotsika mtengo zimagwirira ntchito, komanso zolimbikitsira zomwe ndidathandizira pakukula kwa nyumba. Kukhala ndi nyumba kumapereka bata lofunikira motsutsana ndi kusakhazikika kwa lendi ndipo kumathandiza mabanja kumanga chuma cha mibadwo. Pakadali pano, chiwongola dzanja cha nyumba ku Tacoma chili pa 55% yokha - pansi kwambiri pa avareji yathu yachigawo, boma, ndi dziko - ndipo mitengo imeneyo ndi yotsika kwambiri pakati pa anthu omwe kale anali osowa. Sitingathe kusintha ziwerengerozi podalira zinthu zomwe tili nazo zokha. Ichi ndichifukwa chake ndikudziperekabe kutsatira zosintha za mfundo zomwe zimalimbikitsa kupanga nyumba zatsopano zomwe mabanja ogwira ntchito angathe kuzipeza.
Tikufuna nyumba zambiri pamlingo uliwonse, ndipo tinkazifuna m'badwo wapitawo. Ndi ulemu kukhala pano panthawi ino kuti tithandizire patsogolo kwambiri kwa mzinda wathu.
