Build Your Strategy
Local governments have a critical role to play in addressing the housing challenges faced by their residents. But with dozens of different local housing policies to consider, and unresolved questions about the relative responsibilities and resources of federal, state, and local government, it can be difficult to know where to start and how to structure an effective local housing strategy.
