Regional Responses to the Nation's Growing Housing Crisis
|
Over the last several years a growing housing crisis has been brewing across the country. It has shifted from a phenomenon confined to hot market coastal metropolitan areas like San Francisco or Boston to a ubiquitous challenge facing almost every part of the country and impacting households across a range of income levels. The COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated the challenges and housing costs continue to outpace income growth for most households.
This issue brief explores the linkages between regional coordination of housing and transportation, both in terms of federal planning requirements and in how each impacts the other through policy choices, planning, and inter-related household cost burdens. Snapshots of emerging practices are shared to illustrate the ways regional organizations are pivoting to engage in housing issues and the ways that transportation planning and funding can be used to elevate housing solutions. |
