This federal Project Grant award of $500,000 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the General Research and Technology Activity program (CFDA 14.506). The purpose of the research is to develop consensus-based recommendations on specific federal authorities and funding sources that can be leveraged to spur state and local adoption of housing reforms proven to increase new housing production. The mixed-method study will combine a systematic literature review and stakeholder interviews. The expected outcomes are to help HUD better understand which building code reforms can increase development and lower costs, as well as to inform HUD's strategic priority to increase the supply of affordable housing. The award was granted to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, on February 1, 2025, with a final completion date of July 30, 2027.
