Graphic from Fahe report comparing BABA compliance between an infrastructure bridge project and a housing construction project
Fahe released their Build America, Buy America and Housing report looking at good intentions, unanticipated consequences, and how BABA is a barrier to the American Dream.
The report examines how BABA hinders efforts to address the housing crisis, implementation challenges, and the political difficulties surrounding reform, while arguing that proposed compliance workarounds are impractical and that HUD could resolve the issue by correcting its interpretation.
DG3 released their Effective BABA Compliance for Affordable Housing white paper about “constructive obstruction”, defined as administrative delay that effectively interferes with lawful project delivery despite the absence of a formal waiver denial or approval.
The white paper provides thoughts on solving administrative delay, supply chain disruption, and draw requisition paralysis through predictable waiver administration and preconstruction compliance infrastructure.
Call to Action: If you have an interest in BABA compliance and implementation in New Hampshire, please reach out to Ilana Morof.
