While legislative action in the 118th Congress is winding down, leaders may yet pass the @APA_Planning-endorsed Yes in My Backyard (YIMBY) Act — one of several federal opportunities to increase local housing production this year. plnn.org/3Oy4XyV
On-the-ground at #citysummit24 with Team @APA_Planning this week discussing APA & @leagueofcities #HousingSupplyAccelerator Playbook & local strategies to increase production with 4k+ elected leaders planning.org/housing-supply-… – at Tampa, FL
My favorite moment? A rock star group of electeds & planners reflected on keys to overcoming NIMBY opposition to housing development:
Political courage.
Community planning.
Coalitions.
Communication strategy.
#CitySummit24 – at Tampa, FL
Huge congrats to our friends at @leagueofcities on #NLC100 & a successful #citysummit24. So grateful for this incredible partnership. Can't wait to show the world what comes next for the #HousingSupplyAccelerator 🥳🫶🏘 – at Tampa, FL
Comprehensive data is the foundation of good planning.
Thanks @Up4Growth for giving planners another tool to evaluate the housing dynamics in their local markets. – at Washington, DC
.@Up4Growth's new report shows that despite positive signs of progress, we still have a 3.85M deficit in housing across the country. More must be done at every level of government - including federal action on #zoningreform to create more housing supply. upforgrowth.org/apply-the-vi…

Increasing housing choice starts with planners helping electeds' understand a community's housing gaps, barriers, & needs.
The Michigan Zoning Atlas—supported by @planningmi—will help even more planners advocate for #zoningreform in MI bit.ly/3XSWfiH via @YahooNews
