This year's third edition of Breakthroughs has just been posted on the Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse (RBC) website. In this issue, you'll read about Maryland's efforts to promote affordable housing for military households, a new California law that focuses on environment and affordable housing, and impact fee cuts to increase housing affordability.
Check out the May issue of Breakthroughs to see how...
- The state of Maryland is addressing increased affordable housing needs related to an influx of new residents;
- The state of California passed a bill that links air quality with affordable housing development; and
- Local governments nationwide are reducing impact fees to promote housing construction.
