Housing Policy Issues • Local jurisdictions are planning for an insufficient amount of housing to accommodate future workers over the long-term. • More housing is needed closer to jobs, in existing and growing regional employment centers. • There is a need for more multi-family housing and smaller, more affordable owner and renter homes in the region. • A lack of a sufficient supply of housing contributes to worsening traffic and quality of life and threatens our region’s economic vitality.
