Description:

Second in a series of three pamphlets on affordable housing, To live in friendship, to be real neighbors is about limited equity co-ops as an affordable model for housing working and middle class families. This model is separate from market rate housing, and provides affordable homeownership in otherwise unaffordable places. I moved into the oldest limited equity coop in the US, the Amalgamated Houses in the Northwest Bronx, in summer of 2022. It’s printed letterpress and riso, and includes a reproduction of a rubbing I made of a stone plaque of a speech about housing given by Sidney Hillman, the president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union, which built the Amalgamated, as well as many other limited equity co-ops.
