Overview
• While every community has a different interpretation of sustainability….
• “For HUD, sustainability means tying the quality and location of housing to broader opportunities, like access to good jobs, quality schools, and safe streets. It means helping communities that face common problems start sharing solutions. It means being a partner to sustainable development, not a barrier”.
~ Secretary Shaun Donovan
