- Cities turn to AI to speed housing permitting
Some U.S. cities are implementing AI tools to modernize housing permitting by addressing delays caused by incomplete applications, which involves tasks like scanning and flagging errors. Federal support is available through an Innovation Fund offering $200 million annually and HUD grants of up to $3 million for local government deployment. The goal of these systems is to increase the percentage of applications accepted on the first round.
