HUD RELEASES NEW RESEARCH ON INCREASING AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION AND PRESERVATION

摘要

HUD has released "Opportunities to Increase Housing Production and Preservation"-the Department's latest research on innovative strategies being pursued by state and local governments to remove regulatory barriers to affordable housing and increase housing supply. The research, published by HUD's Office of Policy Development & Research (PD&R), was promised as part of the Department's September 1 announcement of a series of actions it is taking as part of the Biden-Harris Administration's plan to create, preserve, and sell nearly 100,000 additional affordable homes for homeowners and renters across the U.S. over the next three years. As stated in that announcement, the lessons from the research "will be incorporated into HUD's Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse, which contains over 4800 barriers and solutions and provides a catalog of information that spans all 50 states and over 460 cities and counties. They will also inform the locally driven zoning reform initiative in the President's Build Back Better Plan."
