STRENGTHEN AND GROW YOUR COMMUNITY TAKE ACTION ON HOUSING

How is your housing market functioning? Safe, stable, and desirable housing is an important foundation for both individual success and community health. But for many residents of our communities, it’s been getting harder. Housing costs have been increasing faster than incomes for decades. And, in the wake of the Great Recession, housing developers have tended to focus on the projects that are easiest to finance, leaving noticeable gaps in the market. These trends have resulted in fewer housing options in many communities, affecting both existing residents and employers trying to attract staff. Local governments are finding that they need to take an active role to balance housing supply with community needs.
