Over half of all renters are cost-burdened. The PRO Housing grant program from @HUDgov helps communities across the country, from CA to RI, reduce needless local zoning barriers to help drive down prices and address the root of sky-high housing costs

Exciting news! @HUDgov has released the winners of the PRO Housing Grants initiative. With 21 winners and $85 million awarded, this grant program was oversubscribed by 11:1. Communities WANT to build more, they just need help. Click here to learn more:

Regulatory barriers that have built up over decades have left us in a severe housing shortage of ~4M; the fed gov has a role to play in helping communities improve affordability with best practices and research.

Suburban communities account for 48.7% (1.9M) of the housing deficit but new housing construction isn't keeping up. Constrained supply leads to higher prices, and regulatory barriers are a big driver. Good federal policy like RRBHA can help!

Housing underproduction is a national crisis and it demands a national solution. RRBHA offers resources and opportunities to help communities who want to engage but don’t know where to start.

Rising home prices in places like Nantucket Cnty, MA, and Kaufman Cnty, TX, make it difficult for hospitals and schools to remain fully staffed. Regulatory barriers that make it hard to build drive home prices up, but fed legislation like RRBHA can help!

According to @jenny_schuetz at @BrookingsMetro, "State and local governments alone can't solve these housing challenges. The federal government has an important role to play." Legislation like RRBHA helps support local govs who want to do the right thing but lack resources.

One good example of this is that HUD's recent PRO-Homes initiative was oversubscribed 11:1, and received applications from 47 states! (3/5).
