Over half of all renters are cost-burdened. The PRO Housing grant program from @HUDgov helps communities across the country, from CA to RI, reduce needless local zoning barriers to help drive down prices and address the root of sky-high housing costs https://t.co/CF7N2yxlwu

[Up for Growth @Up4Growth]

Exciting news! @HUDgov has released the winners of the PRO Housing Grants initiative. With 21 winners and $85 million awarded, this grant program was oversubscribed by 11:1. Communities WANT to build more, they just need help. Click here to learn more: https://t.co/WRFHtPmFdG

@howtoadu @yimbyaction @HUDgov @howtoadu local, state and federal ALL have a role to play in getting us out of a housing crisis that took decades to build. Glad that we have friends all along the housing ecosystem that agree. More housing = more affordability!

[Up for Growth @Up4Growth]

Regulatory barriers that have built up over decades have left us in a severe housing shortage of ~4M; the fed gov has a role to play in helping communities improve affordability with best practices and research

[Up for Growth @Up4Growth]

Suburban communities account for 48.7% (1.9M) of the housing deficit but new housing construction isn't keeping up. Constrained supply leads to higher prices, and regulatory barriers are a big driver. Good federal policy like RRBHA can help! https://t.co/a0sTXWApC5

Very excited and honored to interview @HUDgov DS Claudia Monterrosa at the Innovative Housing Showcase today. A lot of optimism about the future of housing supply!

[Up for Growth @Up4Growth]

Housing underproduction is a national crisis and it demands a national solution. RRBHA offers resources and opportunities to help communities who want to engage but don’t know where to start. https://t.co/63F3Ok8ZD1

[Up for Growth @Up4Growth]

Rising home prices in places like Nantucket Cnty, MA, and Kaufman Cnty, TX, make it difficult for hospitals and schools to remain fully staffed. Regulatory barriers that make it hard to build drive home prices up, but fed legislation like RRBHA can help! https://t.co/aO9qcWoUk4

[Up for Growth @Up4Growth]

According to @jenny_schuetz at @BrookingsMetro, "State and local governments alone can't solve these housing challenges. The federal government has an important role to play." Legislation like RRBHA helps support local govs who want to do the right thing but lack resources.

[Up for Growth Action @up4growthaction]

We are thrilled to support the Reducing Regulatory Barriers to Housing Act and applaud @SenFettermanPA and @RepLBR for their forward-looking and essential work on advocating for pro-housing policies that start to address the root of the crisis. https://t.co/pdVgvf02i0

RRBHA allows them to access the help and support they need to help solve their growing unaffordability crises. Visit https://t.co/Le5GRM1VnP to learn more! (5/5)

One good example of this is that HUD's recent PRO-Homes initiative was oversubscribed 11:1, and received applications from 47 states! (3/5)

[Up for Growth @Up4Growth]

RRBHA recognizes that HUD is well positioned to offer expertise and guidance to cities and towns that want to create more housing but have trouble getting started. (4/5)
