Novel Solutions to the Affordable Housing Crisis

Key Highlights

• Building smaller homes on infill lots can increase density, reduce costs, and appeal to a broader range of buyers. 
• Modular housing can be built faster and reduce costs to expand affordable housing options.
• Engaging communities early and addressing local concerns can reduce opposition to new developments, speed approvals, and foster good neighbor relationships. 
• Revising zoning laws to allow more diverse housing stock can boost supply without altering neighborhood character.
