The Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse (RBC) serves as a forum for sharing ideas and solutions for state and local governments and other organizations seeking information about laws, regulations, and policies affecting the development, maintenance, improvement, availability, and cost of affordable housing. RBC is a stand-alone component of HUD USER, an information clearinghouse produced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Policy Development & Research.
