Taos housing plan pits county against HUD on Breakthrough sites
The Taos County Housing Authority challenges HUD over Operation Breakthrough site limits. The county urges fewer than eight homes per site, proposing average five per site and shifting some locations, arguing large clusters create housing projects and segregation. HUD counters that fewer than eight per site is financially unfeasible, urging revisions. Local officials say the county’s terms are reasonable and should be met.
