Affordable Housing Policy Update: TOD at Different Scales

ICYMI: Housing supply and affordability challenges aren’t confined to expensive coastal transit markets. They are a core focus for transit-oriented development (TOD) efforts across the country. Delve into case studies from the heartland that showcase cutting-edge TOD strategies at different scales, from a parking lot conversion to affordable housing (involving discounted land sales) to use of bonding capacity and tax relief to increase both supply and affordability of housing along along transit corridors. Get the back story on YIMBY bills through which state legislatures are compelling action on housing. Hear directly from practitioners and policymakers in the thick of these big moves. Let their lessons become yours as you work to advance transit-oriented affordable housing in your community.
