Basics of Sustainability

• While every community has a different
  interpretation of sustainability.
• For HUD, sustainability means tying the quality
  and location of housing to broader opportunities,
  like access to good jobs, quality schools, and
  safe streets. It means helping communities that
  face common problems start sharing solutions. It
  means being a partner to sustainable development,
  not a barrier.
