Housing

Making housing affordable without strangling supply or displacing communities.

The Problem

Housing costs have outpaced income growth for decades. The median home price is now over 5x median household income nationally, and far higher in major metros. Homelessness is rising. Young Americans are locked out of homeownership. The root cause is simple: we don't build enough housing where people want to live.
