Description
The Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) program, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides competitive funding to state, local, and regional governments and entities that have demonstrated progress in improving inclusionary zoning, land use policies, and housing infrastructure. The program aims to address the nationwide shortage of affordable housing by supporting communities that are actively removing legal, administrative, and structural barriers to housing development—especially in Opportunity Zones and rural areas. Funded activities may include planning, infrastructure, development, and preservation actions that further affordable housing goals and serve low- and moderate-income households.
