Federal Agencies Push for Healthier Homes
(RECAP: The Strategy for Action, which unifies federal action to advance healthy housing, demonstrating the connection between housing conditions and residents' health, may lead to new requirements for multifamily developers.)http://www.housingfinance.com/government-entities/federal-agencies-push-for-healthier-homes.aspx
Green Bucks
(RECAP: Conventional lenders generally do not recognize projected, non-historical, boosts to NOI resulting from energy savings measures that have not yet been implemented. Down the road that skepticism in the financing industry may begin to change, as more scientific data becomes available to prove the efficacy of green upgrades.)http://www.multihousingnews.com/features/green-bucks/1004073409.html
Community Investment
Integrating Community Outreach into the Development Process
(RECAP: While a low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) property’s success depends largely on financing, putting together the deal isn’t necessarily the first step of the development process. After a site has been selected, affordable housing developers can put their property on the right track by securing neighbors’ support from the outset.)http://www.novoco.com/journal/2013/02/news_lihtc_201302.php
Multifamily Housing Growth Poised to Continue in 2013
(RECAP: Survey data of multifamily developers, as reported by the National Association of Home Builders Multifamily Production Index, suggests more businesses seeing positive market conditions, according to US News.)http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/home-front/2013/02/13/multifamily-housing-growth-poised-to-continue-in-2013
Neighborhood Transformation
Matchmaking for Good: Crowdsourcing and Revitalization
(RECAP: Matchmaking is a service often associated to websites such as E-Harmony, but by harnessing the power of crowdsourcing and social platforms in the urban sectors, these necessary resources can come into reach (and our communities can certainly benefit from finding a little bit of love).http://www.ceosforcities.org/blog/matchmaking-for-good-crowdsourcing-and-revitalization
The Data is In: Let the heavy lifting begin
(RECAP: The good news about making the redevelopment of American neighborhoods more responsive to 21st century American needs is that we seem to have a pretty good grasp on the problem. The bad news is how tough it is to turn around a half-century of misplaced investment.)http://www.placemakers.com/2013/02/07/the-data-is-in-let-the-heavy-lifting-begin/
Strengthening Capacity
Nonprofits need to make new friends among legislators
(RECAP: Many new legislators will have had little or no exposure to local or statewide agencies. Nonprofits really are in a position to be experts for their cause, as well as demonstrate that they are a good on-the-ground resource.)http://www.councilofnonprofits.org/news/council-nonprofits-news/nonprofits-need-make-new-friends-among-legislators
Virginia Housing Coalition Host Social Media Training
(RECAP: The Virginia Housing Coalition will host “Social Media for Nonprofit Organizations, Making the Most of This Tool,” on February 26 from 10 AM – 4 PM at the Fredericksburg Area Association of Realtors, in Fredericksburg, VA.)http://www.handhousing.org/virginia-housing-coalition-host-social-media-training/
