Pittsburgh入选彭博慈善基金会住房计划首批城市 获资助提速建房许可审批
位于宾夕法尼亚州阿勒格尼县的匹兹堡市，Pittsburgh市长科里·奥康纳10月15日宣布，Pittsburgh入选彭博慈善基金会（Bloomberg Philanthropies）新设住房计划的首批15个美国地方政府之一，将获得资金与专业支持，通过加快许可审批改革来增加住房供应。
该计划将推广已在其他城市推行的做法：San Diego的数字化快速许可、Austin的附属住宅单元（ADU）扩增，以及Atlanta的住房「突击队」模式。每座入选城市将获得45万至75万美元，用于购置清理审批积压的技术工具、聘请建筑师制定可直接申领许可的设计方案，以及组建突击队人员。按计划，参与城市有望在两年内将审批时间缩短一半，并使附属住宅单元的申请量翻倍。该计划最终将覆盖多达30座城市，首批名单还包括Cleveland、Miami、Nashville、San Jose等地。
Pittsburgh近年持续推进自身的许可改革：市政府推出的「EZ Permits」快速通道针对无需设计审查的住宅与商业项目，目标是一个工作日内发证，并已开通视频远程查验与在线许可进度查询。据估算，Pittsburgh面向最低收入居民的经济适用房缺口约1.1万套，另有约2万套空置住房，占全市住房存量15%以上。
Pittsburgh Named Among First 15 Cities in Bloomberg Philanthropies Housing Initiative
Pittsburgh is a city in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O'Connor announced Oct. 15 that the city is among the first 15 U.S. local governments selected for a new Bloomberg Philanthropies housing initiative, which will provide funding and expertise to speed permit reform and unlock housing supply. The initiative spreads three approaches already in use elsewhere: faster, digital permitting from San Diego, expanded accessory dwelling units from Austin, and housing strike teams from Atlanta. Each participating city will receive $450,000 to $750,000 for technology to clear approval backlogs, architects to draft permit-ready plans, and strike team staff. Within two years, cities are expected to halve approval times and double their accessory-dwelling pipelines. Up to 30 cities will ultimately take part. Pittsburgh has been pursuing its own permit overhaul: its EZ Permits initiative targets one-business-day approvals for projects that do not require design review, alongside virtual inspections and an online permit tracker launched in July. Estimates put Pittsburgh's shortfall at roughly 11,000 affordable homes for its lowest-income residents, with about 20,000 vacant homes, more than 15 percent of its housing stock.
