This opportunity funds jurisdictions to deploy automated building code permitting systems and collaborate with HUD to evaluate their real-world effectiveness. The demonstration assesses impacts on processing timelines, workflow efficiency, staff roles, and applicant experience, generating empirical data on operational performance, costs, governance, and potential savings to guide wider adoption by state and local governments.
Eligible applicants include city or township governments, Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized), state governments, and county governments within the United States.
