      abstract = {How is the public-private organizational field of  affordable housing finance impacting the organizations  producing housing in urban neighborhoods? Drawing on  interview data from 20 stakeholders involved in the Chicago  affordable housing development process, this article  contributes to literatures of housing policy and urban  sociology. First, mapping out the process of affordable  housing development, I show how organizations do not fit  into dominant theoretical models present in urban planning,  sociological, and housing policy literature. Specifically,  I show how these models adopt units of analysis that miss  crucial field effects of organizations on one another.  Second, I emphasize that treating organizations as  productive of social relations is essential to  understanding the outcomes of affordable housing projects.  By this I mean how organizations are beholden to one  another in different ways, depending on legal structure,  size, and financing pattern. A heterogeneity of  organizational relations helps account for project siting  patterns of affordable housing as well as the composition  of the organizational field. },
