YIMBY Action

Members of the YIMBY Movement have a lot to be proud of these days 👏 We’ve repeatedly shown up to say YES to abundant housing and it’s working. This is the power of using our voices to support YIMBY policies. More of our leaders are hearing us. Let’s keep the momentum up! 🔥 https://lnkd.in/g7fUQUEr

Up until recently, we couldn’t get very many elected officials to even admit that we have a housing shortage… Now look at us 😏 Our advocacy matters. This is why it’s important that all of us continue to use our voices! #EndTheHousingShortage

"That’s right—the push for zoning reform has gone presidential." Keep 👏 demanding 👏 action 👏 on 👏 housing 👏 It's working!!! https://lnkd.in/d9kdxYc5

#YIMBYWin "A construction boom in the U.S. has resulted in lower rents and other benefits for renters." When the number of homes goes ⬆ The rent goes ⬇ It's simple. So let's build more homes! https://lnkd.in/gxKm6Spm

Urban Environmentalists Illinois and YIMBY Action will host a pro-housing happy hour to kick off the DNC! Join us at Ranalli's West Loop on Monday, Aug 19 @ 6pm. The YIMBY caucus will talk housing, urbanism, elections, and more. We're just down the street from the convention itself. RSVP below!👇

ANNOUCEMENT 🚨 Today YIMBY Law is launching its brand new housing elements dashboard! The dashboard is a GAME CHANGER for advocates, researchers, journalists, and pro-housing organizations across California who are tracking cities and counties as they implement their housing plans. “We’re thrilled to launch this tool so anyone can help enforce fair housing plans across the state. Cities will no longer be able to get away with not implementing their Housing Elements. Not with so many of us paying attention." https://lnkd.in/gsgg8NiM

If you are like us, you understand that we need to act NOW to fix the national housing crisis that our country is facing. To see any improvements, we MUST have elected officials who understand the importance of ending our local and national housing shortages. We're grateful to see folks like At-Large Council Member and Vice Mayor Dan Wu in YIMBY Action's Local Government Alliance, a coalition of pro-housing elected officials & commissioners who see the problem, and are ready to be part of the solution to build more homes!
