Episode 138: Amy Ginger, National Leased Housing Association & Fairfax County Government

Amy Ginger joins ChangeMakers with Katie Goar for a grounded conversation on what works in affordable housing and what slows progress. Drawing on more than 25 years across HUD, local government, and national leadership, Amy explains why Housing Choice Vouchers matter, why utilization dropped after the pandemic, and what housing authorities do every day to keep people housed. Amy shares practical lessons from Fairfax County, including longer search times, market aligned payment standards, and geography based strategies. She also breaks down how Moving to Work flexibility fuels housing production, employer partnerships, and faster development. The discussion covers funding stability, regulatory friction, and why housing policy drives economic stability for entire communities. As President of the National Leased Housing Association, Amy offers a clear view of national priorities, bipartisan reform efforts, and the future of voucher and subsidy programs. The episode closes with direct myth busting around housing authorities and voucher participants, grounded in data and lived experience.
