What innovative #solutions can policymakers look toward to address the US #housing shortage? In the 1980s and 1990s, New York City officials implemented factory-built housing (FBH), including manufactured and modular housing, to help improve neighborhoods struggling with depopulation. Other cities facing similar housing challenges could use New York City’s FBH experience as a model to benefit their communities. In a new Urban Wire piece, learn more about New York City’s #strategy, potential barriers for other cities, and how urban FBH could create neighborhood stability and increase housing supply. https://urbn.is/4gwnOar

With 60 days remaining in a presidential #election that many say will be a turning point for America’s future, Urban is ready to deliver nonpartisan, evidence-based insights on the issues that matter to people in the US. Follow Urban each week until Election Day as we illuminate research and policy solutions on the major topics being debated this campaign season, from the costs of housing and grocery prices to access to reproductive #healthcare, to the future of Social Security. Today, we’re spotlighting approaches to alleviate the high #housing costs squeezing renters and homeowners alike. One solution that recent Urban research highlighted is to develop more “permanently affordable housing,” or units that are shielded from the private, speculative market. Learn more about this approach and other promising federal policy solutions that evidence suggests could bring relief to people struggling to afford housing. https://urbn.is/3z6MXrb What housing-related issue is top of mind for you this election season?
