Legislative Agenda

Three Policy Pillars

Expand the housing supply through new construction, zoning reform, streamlined approvals, and financing tools that unlock more homes in high-demand areas.

Repurpose underused land and buildings to create housing, revitalize communities in the rust belt, rural towns, and main streets, and leverage private capital and innovation to bring new housing types to market.

Protect and extend the affordability and habitability of existing housing, ensuring homes remain safe, livable, and accessible for future generations.

Six Building Blockers

Material barriers: volatile prices, fragile supply chains, and outdated codes that raise costs and constrain adoption of modern building methods.

Access to sites and entitlements: restrictive zoning, infrastructure gaps, environmental reviews, and community opposition limiting where homes can be built.

Administrative friction: duplicative reviews, long permitting timelines, fragmented authority, and litigation.

Capital constraints: limited credit, high financing costs, and weak incentives that prevent viable projects from moving forward.

Workforce bottlenecks: shortages of skilled trades, weak training pipelines, and low productivity.

Resistance to new housing: NIMBY opposition, misinformation, and misaligned electoral incentives.
