Streamlining Public Housing Construction: New Methods for Housing Agencies
New rules allow public housing agencies to use more flexible methods for building and renovating public housing. This aims to accelerate project completion and potentially reduce costs, which could lead to faster access to housing for low-income individuals.
Key points
Public housing agencies can now choose from several new project delivery methods, such as design-build or construction management.
The changes aim to increase efficiency and innovation in public housing construction, potentially reducing waiting times for housing.
Introduced methods also include prequalification of proposers and guaranteed maximum price contracts, intended to ensure better cost and quality control.
