Accelerating Housing Production: Bridging the Gap Between Pro-Housing State Laws and Housing Supply

Rising housing costs have left millions struggling to afford housing, prompting states to pass ambitious legislation to remove barriers to development and incentivize housing production. However, producing more housing depends on cities and towns effectively implementing reforms and complying with state law.

How can state leaders support cities and towns in producing more housing?

This two-pager presents the main takeaways from the GPL’s Accelerating Housing Production report, which draws on interviews with 65 government leaders, practitioners, and researchers to examine local barriers to housing production and opportunities for states to support reform implementation. The two-pager also introduces the GPL’s State Housing Production Accelerator, an initiative that supports state agencies in advancing housing reform implementation at the local level.
