Sustainable Communities Resource Center

Posted by on February 19, 2012

HUD’s Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities (OSHC),in partnership with the Office of Policy Development and Research, is pleased to present the Sustainable Communities Resource Center (SCRC) — a new section of HUDUSER.org dedicated to providing you with information that supports local and regional strategies, with an emphasis on sustainable housing and planning.

Welcome to SCRC

Our resources will help keep you up to date with strategies that America’s communities are developing to improve their economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Every community is different; there is no “one size fits all” model to fit the needs of rural, suburban, and urban areas. Rather, a range of sustainability strategies are being developed and implemented in response to the needs, assets, and visions that each community has to offer. What all of these communities have in common are coordinated, thoughtful approaches that balance economic and natural assets to meet both the current and future needs of all Americans. The SCRC provides ready access to best practices, cutting edge research, new reports and resources — all spotlighting the latest innovations in the field.

You are receiving SCRC eNews updates because you have expressed an interest in staying current with strategies that advance sustainable community development and promote affordable housing.
