Workforce Housing

A comprehensive housing continuum builds the foundation for economic mobility. Gorman & Company’s Workforce Housing Platform serves those in the middle income bands, typically between 80% Area Median Income (AMI) and 120% AMI. In high-cost communities, this middle-income range provides housing for workers who aren’t yet ready to purchase a home, or find the for-sale market out of reach. Housing should be attainable to all in need.

We have worked hand-in-hand with many communities in their economic development efforts. Communities throughout the country have recognized that their economies depend on having a qualified workforce located near employment. Gorman works with communities to locate affordable, workforce housing in strategic locations near key employers. We also work directly with significant employers to develop housing that will offer their employees unique housing choices in a targeted area. These employers then use the availability of this high-quality, rental housing as a recruitment tool.
