Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse
Breakthroughs Newsletter
November 2006
This year's sixth edition of Breakthroughs
has just been
posted on the Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse
(RBC)
website. In this issue, https://archives.huduser.gov/rbc/archives/newsletter/vol5Iss6more.html,
you'll read about new efforts to encourage
development
of sustainable, energy- and resource-efficient
affordable housing; tax incentives
that support
affordable development; and two affordable
housing plan
models.
Check out the November Breakthroughs
to see...
o How the city of Seattle is implementing
sustainable affordable housing in the
downtown
area;
o How Chicago's Cook County Assessor
and the
nonprofit Chicago Rehab Network collaborated
on
developing tax incentives to support
affordable
housing;
o How New Jersey and New York City
have crafted
affordable housing plans that can serve
as
models for other jurisdictions; and
o An announcement of HUD's recently
released
Housing Impact Analysis (HIA).
