The United States has various different development initiatives that can be used by developing housing co-operatives.This page will highlight these different initiatives.
The Rural Housing and Economic Development (RHED) Program provides for capacity building at the State and local level for rural housing and economic development and to support innovative housing and economic development activities in rural areas.
The Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI) is a key competitive grant program that HUD administers to stimulate and promote economic and community development. BEDI is designed to assist cities with the redevelopment of abandoned, idled and underused industrial and commercial facilities where expansion and redevelopment is burdened by real or potential environmental contamination.
