CHOC Chief Strategy Officer Joy Silver Featured in Multi-Housing News

On May 13, 2026, CHOC Chief Strategy Officer Joy Silver was featured in Multi-Housing News with a timely and thought-provoking viewpoint piece.

In "How Europe Offers a Way Forward on Housing," Joy examines how the United States has drifted from its own historic vision of housing as a public good — and what it will take to reclaim it. Drawing on European models that prioritize long-term affordability, sustained public investment, and integrated community services, Joy makes a compelling case for reimagining America's approach to affordable housing at a critical moment for the field.

From Finland's Housing First initiative to France's robust social housing stock, the piece offers concrete lessons for U.S. policymakers and developers — and a clear call to action: treat affordable housing not as an afterthought, but as foundational social and economic infrastructure.

Our deep thanks to the MHN team and The Hoyt Organization’s Leeza Hoyt, MBA, APR, Andrew King, and Andrea Cosgrove for for their continued partnership in amplifying CHOC's voice and mission.
