Basics of Sustainability
• 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”.
