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.
