Housing affordability remains one of the most urgent challenges facing Americans. From rural communities to growing metros, hardworking families are feeling the strain of rising rents, higher mortgage payments, and a housing supply that simply has not kept up with demand.

Across the country, NewDEAL Leaders are testing bold ideas, modernizing outdated systems, and proving that progress is possible when leaders are willing to act.

NewDEAL Leaders who have participated in the NewDEAL Forum’s Housing Task Force are setting a blueprint. They are encouraging the construction of more housing units, employing innovative policies and novel building methods to increase housing stock, and tearing down red tape so that more people can find the affordable housing they need.
