New Report Illustrates How Local Governments Can Address Housing Shortages and Affordability
The recently released 2024 Case for Innovation in Housing: How Local Governments Can Drive Solutions report explores how local governments can address housing shortages and affordability through innovative strategies. It emphasizes that local governments alone cannot resolve the housing crisis and that a systems approach is needed to tackle both the causes and effects of this issue.

It emphasizes that local governments alone cannot resolve the housing crisis and that a systems approach is needed to tackle both the causes and effects of this issue.
The report outlines several solutions for local governments to address housing challenges:
- Flexible Zoning: Encouraging mixed-use, multifamily developments to maximize land use
- Public-Private Partnerships: Leveraging collaborations to expand affordable housing
- New Housing Technologies: Promoting modular construction, 3D printing and sustainable materials
- Community Involvement: Engaging residents in planning processes for equitable development
- Data-Driven Policy: Using data analytics to identify and meet housing needs
