Monday, May 13, 2013 (RECAP: For years, Loudoun County was one of the nation's fastest growing counties and an instructive example of the downsides of sprawl. Meanwhile, it's a nationally recognized center for horse breeding and for its wineries. How can the county continue to grow in a more sustainable manner and reverse existing planning mistakes?) Richmond BizSense,
Thursday, May 16, 2013 (RECAP: A Manchester developer is betting on affordable housing to fill up a 197-apartment project. Fountainhead Properties will convert the Miller Manufacturing property into so-called low-income housing, meaning that there will be income-based restrictions on who can live in the planned $26 million development. Under the low-income housing tax credit program, Richmond Redevelopment & Housing Authority will act as a conduit to issue tax-free bonds to finance the construction costs for Bank of America, the lender on the Miller development.) CBS Money Watch,
Thursday, May 16, 2013 (RECAP: It is increasingly clear that the ongoing housing recovery is the real deal. But that doesn't mean that homeowners, and the rest of the U.S. economy, are in the clear. Despite large gains in home prices, foreclosures drying up and millions of homeowners recovering the equity they'd lost during the subprime crash, a few lingering risks are worth keeping an eye one. And the question with some of these threats isn't if, but when, they will actually occur, and what the reaction will be. Here's a look at the top five threats to the housing recovery.) DHCD Virginia,
Tuesday, May 14, 2013 (RECAP: The Virginia Housing Trust Fund is opening the next round of competitive applications for funding, the Community Improvement Home Loan (Virginia Trust Stabilization Program). The Request for Qualifications (RFQ), instructions and Trust Fund plan can be accessed through the Department of Housing and Community Development's website. Responses to the RFQ are due by close of business May 31, 2013.) The Washington Post,
Tuesday, May 14, 2013 (RECAP: When the Alexandria City Council voted for a tax increase in its coming year’s budget last week, it removed a line that required the city set aside a portion of the tax revenue for its affordable housing and open space funds. Whether the deletion was an inadvertent error is unclear. But the action has alarmed some council members and they promise to revisit it during their meeting Tuesday night. Affordable housing is a major issue in this small northern Virginia city. More than 10,000 homes considered affordable have been lost in recent years as rents ratchet up.) |
