The Housing Initiative of the Simon Foundation for Education and Housing ("Simon Foundation") addresses the critical issue of building truly affordable workforce housing, serving as an advocate on affordable housing issues and solutions that impact the thinking, understanding and ultimately the actions of city, state and federal entities, including the civic, business and education communities.

To accomplish this, Simon Foundation will become an advocate and voice that will lead to important partnerships with constituencies that can make truly affordable workforce housing become a reality. This will be done by:

• Developing precise manufacturing methodologies that will reduce home building costs
• Educating builders on how to employ such methodologies to become participants in a national affordable housing initiative
• Conducting research and development in areas such as "green building" initiatives

Ronald Simon, Founding Chairman of the Simon Foundation, is also Chairman and CEO of RSI Development, an extremely innovative home building company that is embracing the precision manufacturing techniques and construction methodologies that reduce cost and eliminate waste thus enabling the construction of high quality, highly desirable and truly affordable homes.
