"Today, NCST & the Urban Institute are holding a Symposium to outline challenges and policy responses to the homeownership supply crisis, and our President Christopher J. Tyson opened up the event with an urgent call to action: "The single-family housing supply problem has understandably sparked calls for a massive increase in homebuilding. This is an urgent and necessary need. But the scale of the supply problem is simply too large to be addressed only through new construction. We must take serious ways to optimize opportunities for new supply within the nation’s existing housing stock." #ncst #liveaturban #affordablehousing
Did your talk discuss the idea of Single Family Zoning Reform? While building single family homes would help, the typology of these new homes could add significant value to the problem at hand and fill the gap faster.

11moWell said Prez Tyson. Points 1 and 2 are both necessary. Point 1 must be expanded to include building at much faster and lower costs through an offsite construction revolution. And at the vastly increased use of the Black building biz/labor ecosystem in the redevelopment in Black communities.😍
