Welcome to the Affordable Housing Design Advisor.

This is a legacy web site.  It was created more than 15 years ago for the US Department of Housing and Urban Development as an online toolkit to help the developers of affordable housing better understand the value of good design and how they can achieve it in their own developments.   Even though some of the case study examples may be a bit old, the core principles and processes discussed on the site are as valid today as they were when the Design Advisor first launched.   So please check it out.  And if you find a broken link or two, be forgiving and recognize that with great age (for a website) comes great wisdom…along with a few idiosyncrasies and glitches!
