Resources for Public Officials  Public Officials can use the Housing Resources Center to find information on housing development, land use regulation, and housing-related financial tools. Housing development requires private and public sector cooperation, and the Housing Resources Center offers information on Ground Leasing and Land Trusts, Public-Private Projects, and Employer Developed Housing, all tools available for Public Officials to use with the private sector. Public Officials are also central players in the creation and modification of land use policy, and the Housing Resources Center showcases Flexible Zoning Regulations and Permitting Procedures to highlight opportunities for creative land use regulation. In order to combine housing development and land use regulation into successful housing, both developers and potential buyers and renters must see a profit: financial tools are the heart of housing development. The Housing Resources Center explores some of the most successful, such as Development Loans and Gap Financing, Tax Increment Financing, and Pre-development Acquisition Financing.
