Affordable Housing Code Development

The Affordable Housing Code Development project involves providing three to five municipalities in the Capitol Region with technical assistance in preparing code revisions to support development of affordable housing. Assistance to be provided includes the analysis of local land use regulations and codes to identify issues hindering and opportunities for providing incentives to the development of affordable housing and preparation of regulation amendments to be presented to local land use commissions for adoption. These new regulations will then be made available to communities throughout the Knowledge Corridor as model affordable housing zone regulations.
- A detailed report on barriers to sustainable, fair and affordable housing development practices in local regulations and policies and opportunities to incent affordable housing which will guide the preparation of recommended regulatory changes tailored to the individual municipalities.
- Specific written guidance for local governments to use to make regulatory reforms that will help implement affordable housing development practices.
