Housing

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is committed to representing the business voice on the solutions to America’s severe housing shortage by focusing on increasing housing supply through three key pillars:
Reducing Barriers: Streamline permitting, zoning, and regulatory processes to accelerate housing development.
Increasing Access to Capital: Empower small businesses, developers, and local governments with the financial tools they need to build and invest in housing.
Ensuring a Strong Workforce: Support workforce development in construction and related trades to meet the growing demand for housing.
