Impact
Fees & Housing Affordability:
The purpose of this guidebook is to help practitioners design fees that more equitably reflect actual "proportionate share" and therefore have less of a negative impact on housing affordability. It is not a primer on impact fees and assumes some general familiarity with public financing terminology. It is not a research report but a guideline, based on substantial research, for addressing issues of housing affordability and equity.
Government
studies and university research indicate that the very structure of the housing industry is an
impediment to innovation. To help counter this trend, the Partnership for Advancing This pamphlet is designed to assist manufacturers in transferring new innovations into the home building industry. Containing lessons learned through interviews, focus groups, and case studies, this guide takes an inside look at today’s home building industry and provides tips for manufacturers looking to commercialize an innovation. |
