Have a wonderful weekend everyone, here’s an early roundup to help pass the Friday afternoon:

Congressional housing advocates to FHFA: Hustle!

HUD is investing in healthy homes in St. Louis and Connecticut.
And unleashing private sector innovation in green housing.
HUD’s new Energy Innovation Fund has the potential to push building retrofits further along. From assessment to construction, there is much streamlining and process development that needs to be done for retrofitting. This fund should help to get this process ironed out faster, encourage more retrofits and grow the green economy.
