Our Mission
State Land Use Reform Series
Reforming Land Use to Expand Housing Supply
State governments are increasingly stepping in to require or encourage municipalities to expand housing supply as the housing shortage creates a cost burden for millions of Americans. Drawing from the NYU Furman Center’s Land Use Reform Tracker, we have published four policy briefs covering distinct types of reform, including planning requirements, the builder’s remedy, procedural changes and efforts to leverage faith-owned properties.
