"We're short on all homes. Full stop. And that means that existing homes are getting bid up because we see high income households competing with low income households for the same residences," @pewtrusts' @AlexHrwtz tells @npratc buff.ly/3U5egIU
In some parts of #Montana, housing costs are rising, even tripling. One solution? Flexible zoning laws, which allow for more housing options. 🎧Hear how state policymakers made it happen in Montana—and why it matters. 👇 pew.org/3JvVy8c

"Minneapolis is more than tripling the rate of housing production as New York City, and what has happened is rents have not budged," ✍️ our @AlexHrwtz for @CBSNews. pew.org/3V18IkW

My @pewtrusts op-ed with @br_norm of @GoldwaterInst on how restrictive zoning in Arizona has helped push up housing costs over 50% and spiked homelessness. Places like Minneapolis & Houston that allowed more homes kept costs down and saw homelessness drop.

In 2022, the average length of stay at a shelter in Montana was 100 days, and in 2023, it jumped to 185 days, said one shelter director. Legislators hear update on homelessness, housing. By @NicoleGirten: dailymontanan.com/2024/03/29/hom… #mtnews #mtleg
According to survey results from @pewtrusts, making housing affordable, allowing people to live near their jobs, and reducing homelessness are all excellent reasons to change housing rules. Raise your hand if you, too, want vibrant communities full of abundant housing 🙋♀️
Hawai'i has the dubious distinction of being among the 5 states with the highest rates of homelessness. With a shortage of housing that's skyrocketing rents — the foremost predictor of homelessness — it's no surprise. staradvertiser.com/2024/03/24/edi…
Rising costs and limited inventory of homes are just a few of the obstacles Americans face when it comes to homeownership. I’m grateful for the work of my colleagues @Tara_In_DC and @AlexHrwtz who are researching these challenges and possible solutions. pewtrusts.org/en/research-an…
The current #housing supply in America can't keep up with the demand. One solution? Make it easier to build more homes. Our @AlexHrwtz breaks down the history of restrictive zoning—and potential solutions. pew.org/495r73d
Americans are facing a #housing shortage, forcing families to spend more on housing than ever before. Fortunately, policy solutions, like more flexible zoning, could help. Our @AlexHrwtz and @Tara_In_DC discuss on "After the Fact." 👉 pew.org/495r73d
But really excited and feeling incredibly lucky to go to the prominent Pew Charitable Trusts to work on housing policy around the country. So I can still do work to make an impact on people. Got to do a lot as a reporter.
Americans are facing a dire housing shortage. Thankfully, bipartisan solutions to boost supply and affordability are spreading. Hear what those solutions look like on our webinar tomorrow @ 2pm ET from: 👉 @GovTinaKotek 👉 @MTDEQ 👉 @NYSHCR Register: pew.org/42KEIvj
“From 2015 to the start of 2023, Dallas’ average monthly rent rose $643 while Houston’s only rose by $382… “Over that same period, homelessness dropped 29% in Houston but rose 35% in Dallas” More housing = less homelessness. 🏘️ @AlexHrwtz @DMNOpinion dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…
“With too few homes available, people compete for what’s on the market and bid up the price or rent. The families that can least afford the cost of housing lose out the most. Homelessness has risen 13% in the commonwealth since 2018.” 🏘️💸 @AlexHrwtz richmond.com/opinion/column…
Most residents in both Texas and California support the same policies proven to boost housing availability. This is despite differing politics and average home values—showing just how pervasive the need is. pew.org/3UmdXuP
In this article, my colleagues @AlexHrwtz and @chase_hatchett explain how zoning policies in Virginia are affecting affordability and availability of housing, making the American dream of homeownership out of reach for many individuals and families. pewtrusts.org/en/research-an…
“Tysons has added more housing than any other jurisdiction in Virginia since 2017 and has slowed rent growth to less than 1% per year, up just 5% total over the past seven years (the average Virginia rent increase has been 25%).” @AlexHrwtz @chase_hatchett pewtrusts.org/en/research-an…

@NPRKelly recently spoke with @AlexHrwtz of the @pewtrusts Housing Policy Initiative about how the housing shortage is impacting housing costs, what factors impact our lack of housing supply, and what we can do to solve the shortage. Check it out! npr.org/2024/04/23/124…
“Restrictive zoning is the primary culprit. It's made it hard to build homes in the areas where there are jobs. And so that has created an immense housing shortage. And each home is getting bid up, whether it's a rental or whether it's a home to buy.” npr.org/2024/04/23/124…
So much good quotes in this NPR piece about housing. Obviously we've been saying all this for a long time, but it's good that normies are getting exposed to it. npr.org/2024/04/23/124…

Many Americans who want to own a home are only able to rent for now, our @AlexHrwtz notes. Why? Look to strict zoning and land-use policies that make it harder—and more expensive—to build new housing. pew.org/3xiBwvr
States can play an effective role in developing solutions to the housing challenges many communities face. @br_norm and @AlexHrwtz discuss how changes in zoning can improve affordability and accessibility for communities. pew.org/3TXzgkL
Beyond sunny beaches, what do Florida and California have in common? They've both recently passed bipartisan housing laws to ease zoning rules—an approach proven to slow cost growth and reduce homelessness. Hawaii should take note. pew.org/49A5B6W
Manufactured homes are a rare feature of the housing market, one that is both lower-cost and high-quality. There are plenty of willing, credit-ready buyers—yet a lack of affordable financing means it's often out of reach. But help might be on the way. pew.org/4b4nBIp

50% of U.S. renters are rent burdened, meaning they spend at least 30% of their incomes on rent. Why? Partly because restrictive zoning laws have discouraged housing creation, driving up costs—and homelessness. pew.org/3E021FX
