Our Why

Housing scarcity is a policy choice, not a market accident.

Housing scarcity wasn’t inevitable. It was built by decades of rules. And what was built can be unbuilt. Today’s shortage isn’t a market cycle or a passing shock — it’s the direct result of policy choices about where, how, and whether homes get financed and built. Federal policy can set clear national goals and reward the predictable local land use, faster approvals, and measurable supply gains that let communities build the homes they need.

Housing should always be an opportunity, never an obstacle.

Our Work

We are committed to solving the housing shortage and affordability crisis by

  • Presenting a bold vision for change
  • Building and cultivating a diverse, cross-sector network of stakeholders to shape and advocate
    for nonpartisan policies at all levels of government
  • Leveraging Up for Growth Action to advocate for the elimination of systemic barriers to housing at the federal level

 

People & Culture

Up for Growth and Up for Growth Action are powered by an experienced and dedicated team of policy, advocacy, and development professionals. And a robust member network of 300+ organizations fuels our success.

Building on this foundation, we empower each team member to take ownership over their role by:

  • Collaboratively defining their position by its desired outcomes and measurable impacts
  • Providing freedom over the strategies and tactics they will use to achieve those outcomes
  • Rewarding innovation, framing failure as a learning opportunity
  • Investing in growth and development to support professional and personal advancement
  • Proactively asking for and responding to feedback as a leadership team
