The Orlando Affordable Housing Demonstration Project
Local government processing procedures, regulations, and building codes are often seen as inhibiting the construction of low- and moderate-income homes. An Orlando, Florida, demonstration project, designed to eliminate regulatory excesses, offers an alternative to the development community, too often convinced that affordable housing cannot be profitable. The Orlando program protects the public interest, yet expedites the review process. Mortgage down payment assistance and reduced commuting costs also add to the affordability of the demonstration units.
