Service Enhancements for Affordable Neighborhoods

In order to improve housing and better maintain neighborhoods for low-income residents, communities can choose to enhance utilities and services in specific neighborhoods that have a large supply of low-income housing and/or provide infrastructure for new developments with affordable housing. Types of services that can be enhanced in existing neighborhoods include: transit service, street maintenance, and sewer, water and road improvements. Local governments can choose to bear the financial burden of paying for infrastructure costs for new developments that meet specific affordable housing requirements.
