Sonoma County lost 5,100+ homes after the 2017 fires and was faced with a chance to build new & affordable #housing. Some of their recent changes include creating high density residential incentive programs and increasing building height requirements 👍. https://t.co/lkdiUytLOP

We are pleased to see a bipartisan effort to curb the #housingaffordability crisis in Oregon. Changing outdated zoning laws to allow #affordablehousing where it is most needed is a solution we can all get behind 👏🏠. https://t.co/2NYfMmguS3

Strong relationships between state and local governments are crucial to providing #affordablehousing to everyone. States like Utah are promoting affordable housing by leveraging the power of the state government with the local expertise of its cities. https://t.co/IVNBMMUiM9
