America's Affordable Communities Initiative
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is committed to helping communities across America identify and overcome regulatory barriers that impede the availability of affordable housing. Through the removal of burdensome regulatory barriers, we will work together to open more doors to hard-working American families who wish to buy or rent an affordable home in the community of their choice.
