NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- American Dream Come True: Why Affordable Housing Is Good Policy, Good Business, and Good for America, by Tony Bertoldi, is now available. The book is published with Forbes Books, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes, and is available on Amazon today.

Can affordable housing make the American dream a reality? With American Dream Come True, co-president of the affordable housing syndication company, CREA LLC, Tony Bertoldi leverages 25+ years of experience to explain the role of affordable housing in building a healthy, just, and vibrant society full of opportunities.

In clear and engaging prose, Bertoldi's work debunks the common misconceptions about affordable housing, showing how it's a benefit for the entire American ecosystem, and why it should matter to individuals and corporations alike.

From addressing inflation, job creation, and creative ESG (environmental, social, and governance) strategy, to reducing health costs for American taxpayers, Bertoldi shines a light on the benefits of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC, pronounced LI-Tec) program and how it creates a more balanced society where people from all backgrounds can work, live, and contribute to their community and the health of the American economy.

"The biggest lesson I believe we can learn from the history of affordable housing in the US is the real impact it has on all Americans," Bertoldi said. "It's a part of both our economic viability and our personal values. Affordable housing isn't a 'blue' issue or a 'red' issue—it's a red, white, and blue issue."
