This year's fifth edition of Breakthroughs has just been
posted on the Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse (RBC)

zoning in Massachusetts, transfer of development rights
and affordable housing, and adopting state legislation to
promote affordable housing in New Mexico.
 
Check out the September issue of Breakthroughs to see
how...
 
o The state of Massachusetts' smart growth zoning law is
increasing the supply of affordable housing;
 
o Some communities are integrating affordable housing
requirements within transfer of development rights
programs; and
 
o The state of New Mexico is increasing affordable
housing opportunities for residents.
