These presentations will focus on key foundations for a housing strategy: getting the zoning, codes and policies in place as well as developing neighborhood buy-in and institutional support for the strategy and individual projects. While changing a few policies is not likely to fix the housing crisis, most communities have zoning, codes and other policies that hinder or block many of the things that the communities now desire. Changing these can seem intimidating to many local governments, and there is often local resistance to making any changes. Sessions in this track are packed with practical steps for doing this important foundational work. Participants will gain access to valuable resources and toolkits for overcoming local opposition to housing strategies and for empowering their local government to update zoning and codes.
