Supply Side Solutions for the Housing Affordability Crisis: Federal Policy Proposals and Advocacy Strategies
Mark Kudlowitz
Description

Policymakers can no longer ignore the nationwide housing affordability crisis, felt most acutely by vulnerable populations in low- and moderate-income households. Driving this crisis is a supply shortage of nearly 4 million housing units. Affordable homeownership opportunities grow scarcer and scarcer as prices soar and cash-buying investors convert single-family homes to rental. While barriers exist to the production of new housing, the toolkit to solve this complex crisis needs to include preservation of existing housing stock and rehab or repurposing of vacant and abandoned structures. Hear from national policy experts working to drive supply side homeownership solutions, and learn how you and your community can advocate for positive change.
