	7. Affordable Housing Provides Opportunity We sat down with Michael Bodaken, Executive Director of the National Housing Trust (NHT), to discuss preserving affordable housing near transit. Michael shared a few stories with us on the best ways to ensure continued access to affordable housing near transit for low and moderate-income families. He discussed the role that transit agencies play in helping to preserve affordable housing and also spoke about using housing and transit data as the basis for understanding how to use existing infrastructure to preserve mixed-income housing near transit.
