Plan, Baby, Plan: Supercharge Your Local Housing Coalition

In 2024, the Housing Supply Accelerator launched a playbook for communities to lead reforms and solutions focused on partnerships, development, finance, and regulations. A growing number of communities around the country are advancing reforms and working to move the needle on needed production. This session will examine the pace and state of housing need, change, and disruption around the country and outline how planners, local officials, and the private sector are leading new collaborations and partnerships. As more communities embrace local changes, how are they moving from regulatory reform to on-the-ground production? Find out how communities and regions are building new planning-led housing systems and reimaging the relationship of the public and private sectors in meeting today’s housing needs. The partners behind the Accelerator – APA, the National League of Cities, the National Association of Realtors, the National Association of Homebuilders, and the Mortgage Bankers Association – will highlight a new community challenge program and resources to support local housing initiatives and partnerships.
