State governments are taking a more active role in encouraging local policy change to increase housing production and affordability. Pro-housing designation programs—which incentivize or require localities to take proactive steps to facilitate housing production—are a new addition to the policy toolbox. A recent Terner Center report profiles six pro-housing designation programs—in California, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, and Utah. Access the report: https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/research-and-policy/pro-housing-designation-programs-how-states-are-incentivizing-pro-housing-reform/ At the webinar, join us to hear from leaders with states implementing these programs and participating local governments.
