On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, HUD's Office of Policy Development & Research (PD&R) will host a hybrid PD&R Quarterly Update on transit-oriented development (TOD). The first panel at the event will look at TOD projects that promote affordable housing options near transit, while also enabling all community members—regardless of income, ethnicity, gender, or ability—to enjoy mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods. The second panel will explore opportunities to leverage existing and future transportation resources at the federal, state, and local level to build more affordable housing near transit.
