Our team, Exygy, and Housing Navigator Massachusetts, Inc created an excellent resource this summer, see Hannah Gable's post to learn more about some of the insights shared and check out the report at the link below!
I'm excited to share a report we published back in June in collaboration with Exygy and Housing Navigator Massachusetts, Inc -- "Equitable Affordable Housing in the Digital Age". If you are interested in learning more about the process for building a unified search platform for affordable housing in your region, I encourage you to check it out. Loved working with Jennifer Gilbert & Vu-Bang Nguyen on this! 😁 https://lnkd.in/g2nuiAEA // The current system for finding affordable housing in the U.S. is broken (and in many cases, doesn’t exist). For families and individuals that can afford market rent, platforms like Zillow and Trulia facilitate the housing search process. However, subsidized “capital A affordable” units are typically not included on these sites, meaning low income renters are left to navigate multiple government and property-specific websites. How can we use technology to enhance and streamline access to affordable housing? This report details the lessons learned in building affordable housing search platforms. The report lays out eight “ingredients for success” for how government, technology, and nonprofit leaders can utilize technology to make the search for affordable housing easier and more transparent, with a focus on user experience, stakeholder engagement, racial equity, and data quality.

Ivory Innovations reposted this
Last month, Courtney Porcella and I recorded an episode on the YIMBY Infill Podcast and discussed some of the biggest trends in housing policy, including office-to-resi conversion, "Yes in God's Backyard", social housing, and transit-oriented development. I highlight our Policy Innovations Database (https://lnkd.in/gE342Udc) -- a free, online repository of some of the most recognized bills (50+) across these four policy areas. Check it out! Ivory Innovations YIMBY Action
Hannah Gable and I recently chatted for the Infill Podcast about trends in housing policy and the amazing work that Ivory Innovations has done to create a database of reforms that are legalizing housing in more places across the country. Give it a listen 🎧 https://lnkd.in/emDJVufR

Pro Builder Media featured San Diego’s Ivory Prize win in a recent article. Read more about the promise that this program is showing: https://lnkd.in/g6Z9cw8m
