WALC Housing FAQ

What is missing middle housing?

Missing middle housing includes duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, cottage courts, and other smaller multi-unit homes. These housing options help bridge the gap between single-family homes and larger apartment buildings.

Reflecting on Raise the Roof and our interactive Jelly Blox centerpieces.Guests were encouraged to think beyond a square and use hands-on building to imagine stronger, more connected communities.
One of the best parts was watching the conversations come to life around the tables.
