Good morning 4th District Officials,
Our office wanted to inform you about the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing grant with an estimated total program funding of $85,000,000.
“Communities nationwide are suffering from a lack of affordable housing, and housing production is not meeting the increasing demand for accessible and available units in many urban and rural areas, particularly areas of high opportunity. This grant empowers communities that are actively taking steps to remove barriers to affordable housing and seeking to increase housing production and lower housing costs for families over the long term. Barriers to affordable housing can be caused by zoning decisions, land use policies, or regulations; inefficient procedures; gaps in available resources for development; deteriorating or inadequate infrastructure; lack of neighborhood amenities; or challenges to preserving existing housing stock such as increasing threats from natural hazards, redevelopment that reduces the number of affordable units, or expiration of affordability requirements. Across the United States, regulatory and other barriers have made it difficult to produce, preserve, and access affordable housing.”
