Housing Policy Guide: Turning guiding principles into actionable solutions
Communities are facing unprecedented housing challenges, and planners are working on the frontlines alongside elected officials and community leaders to address the crisis. Written, amended, and approved by members, APA's Housing Policy Guide details actionable policy solutions that planners can use to advocate for critical policy changes at the local, state, and federal levels. The principles in the guide are informing our advocacy on federal and state legislation and driving APA action on timely policy debates with the potential to impact local housing solutions for all.
