In order for HUD to pay for planned sustainable housing programs (including transit oriented development) as proposed in the FY 2010 budget, Congressional/Presidential approval of such a program needs to occur via authorizing language.

Senator Dodd has introduced a bill that would accomplish this, along with Senator Merkley as one of several co-sponsors.
