Williams unveiled his housing initiative and a bill, entitled The Housing Preservation, Rehabilitation, and Production Omnibus Amendment Act of 2001. The housing initiative protects existing affordable housing, reduces displacement, converts vacant and dilapidated buildings into new housing, and promotes new housing for people of all incomes. <p>"The cornerstone of safe, stable neighborhoods is good housing," said Mayor Williams. "As our economy continues to prosper, we must make sure we have decent housing available in all our neighborhoods." <p>The centerpiece of the Mayor's housing initiative is the omnibus housing legislation. The bill improves existing homeownership programs, creates new funding streams for affordable housing preservation and production, provides greater protection against displacement, and offers new incentives for homebuyers and developers to build and rehabilitate housing. <p>The following links provide more information about the Mayor's Housing Initiative, the Omnibus Housing Bill, and the production of affordable housing in the District of Columbia. <ul> <li><a href="pdf/b14_183per.pdf" target="win1" class="red">Final Version of the Mayor's Housing Act of 2002*</a> <li><a href="pdf/omnibus_housing.pdf" target="win1" class="red">Omnibus Housing Bill*</a> <li><a href="pdf/title.pdf" target="win1" class="red">Title-by-title summary of the Omnibus Housing Bill*</a> <li><a href="pdf/exec_summary.pdf" target="win1" class="red">Summary of the Analysis of the Omnibus Housing Bill's Fiscal Impact*</a> <li><a href="pdf/analysis.pdf" target="win1" class="red">Updated Analysis of Omnibus Housing Bill's Fiscal Impact*</a> </ul>   <br><img src="/img2/i_dotted_line.gif" width="407" height="7" alt="dotted line" border="0"><br> * This document is presented in Portable Document Format (PDF) and a PDF reader is required for viewing.<br> <a href="http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank" class="red">Download a PDF reader</a> or <a href="http://www.adobe.com/support/main.html" target="_blank" class="red">learn more</a> about PDFs. </FONT> </BODY>
