- HousingPolicy.org is developed and maintained by the Center for Housing Policy, the research affiliate of the National Housing Conference. We greatly appreciate the support of HousingPolicy.org’s funders, the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
- The website has 5 main sections: (1) Getting Started, where users can learn about what affordable housing is, who needs it & why; (2) the Toolbox, where users can find the main policy content and case studies; (3) Building a Strategy, which provides guidance and examples on putting these policies into a comprehensive housing strategy that works for your community; (4) the Gallery of Affordable Homes which showcases images of attractive affordable homes throughout the country; and (5) the Forum, which is the interactive part of the site where Forum members can pose questions and share ideas and best practices The colored tabs at the top of each page on housingpolicy.org allow for easy access to each of these 5 sections, wherever you are on the site. We also have some special features highlighted on the home page, including: A to Z Search (in the upper right) Our featured podcast, The In Focus page, which features a different topic each month and highlights new material on the site
- The Getting Started section provides information that would be helpful to those who are new to housing policy, as well as answers that can help you frame responses to constituent questions. Throughout the site, you’ll see footnotes that reference research evidence, so you don’t just have to take our word for it. In the Getting Started section, you can find answers to many basic questions about affordable housing, such as “What is affordable housing?”; “Why is housing growing less affordable?”; “How can we increase housing options for working families?”; “What can government agencies do?”; and “Won’t more housing just overburden our public facilities?”
- In the Getting Started section, you can find answers to many basic questions about affordable housing, such as “What is affordable housing?”; “Why is housing growing less affordable?”; “How can we increase housing options for working families?”; “What can government agencies do?”; and “Won’t more housing just overburden our public facilities?”
- The toolbox contains a wealth of policy examples, tips, and case studies. It is organized into 4 smaller toolkits that address (a) steps that states and localities can take to increase the availability of homes for families at all income levels; (b) meeting the housing needs of older adults, completed in partnership with AARP, (c) making homes more resistant to natural disasters, a section created in partnership with WeatherPredict consulting, and (d) a section on preventing foreclosures and stabilizing neighborhoods, which links to our sister-site Foreclosure-Response.org Ways to find a policy: (1) Browsing through the toolkits – this helps you home in on policies that meet your needs (2) Clicking the “All Roles and Policies” link in the Quick Links box (also note that people working at the state level can find key state roles in the Quick Links box) (3) Or you can use the A to Z / Search, found in the banner of every page
- The 22 high-impact policies you can learn about in the Toolbox include making publicly-owned land available, adopting expedited permitting policies, inclusionary zoning, employer-assisted housing, shared equity, and foreclosure prevention.
- Meeting the Housing Needs of Older Adults can be achieved through a variety of policies. We’ll look a little further at one of these: Provide Affordable and Accessible Transportation Options
- This is the overview page that describes rezoning policies. Note the icons in the upper right. These link are handy tools (feedback, printing, and e-mailing) We try to keep the text jargon-free, and link to the glossary if readers may need help understanding an unfamiliar term. Real world examples can be found for each policy.
- Each policy section delves into greater levels of detail as you continue clicking. Navigation tools, including a breadcrumb trail, clickable headings, and hyperlinked outlines of each section make it easy to keep track of progress.
- Three icons in the upper right of every page provide handy tools: (1) Click the lightbulb icon to send us feedback – whether it is more examples, comments, or corrections, we want to incorporate your feedback to make this site a useful tool for communities nationwide. (2) Click the printer icon to print a single page, or an entire policy section. (3) Click the envelope icon to e-mail a page to colleague.
- Building a Strategy is divided into 6 sections: The First 4 deal with creating a plan – an overview of what it is, information about setting goals, creating the plan itself, and tips for making the plan a success. The 5 th section contains profiles of housing plans in a variety of communities, at the state, county, and municipal level. And the final section, Connections, explores the ways in which housing policy is related to other key social goals such as education, health, and smart growth.
- Building a Strategy answers questions such as “Why does my community need a comprehensive housing strategy?” and provides guidance and examples to help create a plan that is successful and considers housing’s impact on a broad range of community needs.
- Users can browse images of real affordable homes in the Gallery. Results can be filtered to see homes in a specific region of the country; rental, homeowner, or mixed renter and owner developments; or homes in urban, suburban, or rural areas.
