I have heard there is a large shortage of section 8 housing in Youngstown.

In fact I am managing $500k project now where I am bidding out materials purchasing through the supply house.If you, the customer.... purchase the material, pick it up, load and unload it, make it safe in your project house, deal with any shortages, overages or returns, take on all warranty issues, etc, etc, then I suppose you could justify not paying the GC any markup.

This first-of-its-kind project addresses California’s housing shortage by repurposing an underutilized site into a vibrant residential and retail space.Of the 800 units, 180 will be affordable housing, with amenities including a rooftop pool and fitness center.

We all know most markets in the country are suffering from a huge shortage of affordable housing.
