WASHINGTON, DC-The Department of Housing and Urban Development has appointed Shelley Poticha as senior advisor for Sustainable Housing and Communities–a new office that HUD is trying to create through Congressional legislation sponsored by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-CT). Poticha will direct the office if the bill becomes law.

Among other responsibilities, the office would oversee a $150-million sustainable communities fund as well as a $100-million energy innovation fund, a HUD spokesperson tells GlobeSt.com. The office’s creation was part of HUD’s 2010 budget, submitted in May. The budget also proposes eliminating or consolidating 27 programs and activities.

Its mission also includes providing technical and policy support for energy, green building, and integrated housing and transportation programs at HUD and managing HUD’s relationships with the departments of Transportation and Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency.
