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).
