Get the Facts to Speed Up Your 50+ Approval Process

"Approving Seniors Housing: Facts that Matter" is a publication created by NAHB to help builders and developers obtain approval for 55+ housing in their local jurisdictions. The booklet dispels many of the myths about active adult housing that prompt well-meaning officials and conscientious citizens to interfere with the approval process.

The publication presents the facts for builders and developers to share with their local planning boards, city or county councils, civic and home owner associations and other interested groups.

Chapters include: Education Issues, Planning for Road Improvements, Parking Standards, Public Safety Services, Water and Sewer Services, Public Parks and Libraries and Local Economic Impact (Jobs, Income and Taxes).

This booklet is sold online in a PDF format, which enables purchasers to acquire it immediately and print and distribute as many copies as they need, when they need it.

"Approving Seniors Housing: Facts that Matter" is available for $12.95 for NAHB members and $16.95 for non-NAHB members. To order it online, click here.
