What We Do

This toolkit is the compilation of many hours of collective work from various parties. It will continue to be updated as more resources are identified. For more information, please reach out to the advisory board located at the bottom of this website.

The goal of the housing toolkit is to assist communities in discussing the importance of attainable housing. Attainable housing isn’t just an issue of lack of places to live – it’s an issue with having a strong economy. In order to attract and retain jobs, there must also be a place for these employees to live. This toolkit will explain the issues surrounding attainable housing, as well as provide resources to guide communities through the journey to provide adequate housing.
