There are two types of inclusionary zoning i.e. Market Rate Inclusionary Housing and Means Tested Inclusionary Housing.

Market Rate Inclusionary Housing is built to be affordable to a specific economic constituency. However, it may be rented by anyone with the ability to pay.

Means Tested Inclusionary Housing is built to be affordable to a specific economic constituency. However, only a range of buyers within a restricted MFI are eligible to participate. Only those at the top of that MFI range will find the property affordable. This class of housing is similar to Public Housing and in some cases may actually be Public Housing.

The question perpetually arises with inclusionary zoning, Public Housing and other attempts at Affordable Housing, which is never answered: For WHOM are these units being built and what statistical data has been used to determine the need by neighborhood?
