Housing GSO: HRA Greensboro Affordable Housing Plan

IMPLEMENTATION

FACILITATE INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION

NDD should establish intergovernmental administrative teams to work in collaboration with other departments and agencies to effectively implement many of the recommended housing tools. In addition, while the GSO2040 Comprehensive Plan is being developed, NDD should coordinate with the planning process to ensure proposed land use and zoning strategies align with the goals and recommendations outlined in Housing GSO. A key point of collaboration between NDD and Planning will be reviewing land use and zoning regulations advanced in GSO2040 to ensure alignment with identified affordable housing priorities, including opportunities to support density in areas of opportunity. The following tools will require an Intergovernmental Administrative Team to drive implementation. Suggested initial partners are listed, and NDD should confirm staff availability as a first step: The City should establish intergovernmental administrative teams to drive implementation of recommendations that require cross-department and cross-agency coordination. Internal teams should be tasked to advance specific housing tools for which their coordination and partnership is required.
