Innovative State and Local Policies Facilitating Housing Production

Wed Oct 30 9:00 AM — 10:00 AM (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time Resorts World Las Vegas - Level 2, Lotus AB
State and local governments have been making the news in recent years pushing legislation, new funding, and other proposals to advance housing production. But how are they performing? And which policies should be replicated in other communities? This panel will discuss these innovative state and local housing policies and draw from the findings of the 2024 ULI Shaw Forum where developers, policymakers, economists, and researchers will deliberate on the policies they believe will prove most successful in producing quality housing in their communities.
