North Carolina Response to Questionnaire for HUD’s Initiative on Removal of Regulatory Barriers
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has prepared a questionnaire to ascertain local and state efforts to remove regulatory barriers to affordable housing. This questionnaire has been incorporated into HUD’s competitive grant applications, including Continuum of Care, Section 811, and Section 202. While applicants are not required to answer the questions, positive responses may result in up to 2 additional points for the scoring of the application. The questionnaire is divided into two parts: 1) Part A, which relates to projects submitted by local governments or applicants with projects in incorporated areas; and 2) Part B, which relates to projects submitted by state agencies or applicants with projects in unincorporated areas.
The responses to the questionnaire relate to Part B only and were prepared by staff at the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency, and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Assistance was provided by the Institute of Government at UNC-Chapel Hill and the state chapter of the American Planning Association.
Part B contains 15 questions and the responses at the link below provide a total of four “yes” answers (See questions 10, 12, 13, and 15) which will enable applicants to receive one extra point on their application score.
For further information on the HUD Questionnaire, please contact Gary Dimmick, Director of Community Planning and Development, HUD Greensboro Office, 336-547-4006. For information concerning the responses to the HUD Questionnaire, please contact Candace H. Stowell at the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency, 919-877-5633 or chstowell@nchfa.com.
