Committees

The Regional Housing Committee
Comprised of planners and housing officials recognized as experts across the Hudson Valley, Pattern's Regional Housing Committee creates strategy for regional work on affordable and workforce housing, including Pattern’s annual spring housing conference, “Housing the Hudson Valley”, and the selection of Pattern’s annual award winners in affordable housing.

Task Force on Local Government Efficiency
The Pattern for Progress Board of Directors formed this group in December 2010 to formulate policy and approve an action plan to support Pattern’s priorities in helping the Hudson Valley’s local governments share ideas and resources in becoming more efficient.  The Task Force’s White Paper issued in April 2011 is available in the links on the bottom of this page.

Task Force on Land Use Policy
A task force of land use professionals including attorneys, planners, developers and environmental advocates has drafted a set of guidelines that Pattern will use to advocate for projects of regional significance and those that help to achieve objectives - such as affordable/workforce housing - from Pattern's strategic plan.

The InterGovernmental Cooperation Committee
In 2008, Pattern for Progress announced the formation of a regional intergovernmental committee to engage Hudson Valley county leaders in sharing ideas and resources that will deliver cost reductions at the local level. (See photo from initial meeting on May 30, 2008) The group's first efforts will involve an analysis of potential efficiencies in the Hudson Valley's county jail system.
