THE HOUSING CRUNCH IS REAL

HOW WE GOT HERE, HOW WE ADDRESS IT AND THE DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFTS THAT WILL IMPACT WHAT AND WHERE WE CALL HOME

AHS advocates for housing types that support transit-centered, walkable communities that are inclusive and equitable for people of all incomes, backgrounds, ages and stages of life.

The group is well-aware that when people hear about zoning changes, they worry how it will impact their homes, neighborhoods and environment.

“Updating zoning laws allows for more types of housing and does not mean an end to single-family zoning or allowing large apartment buildings next to single-family homes,” Alice Hogan, a consultant to AHS,  said.

“AHS advocates for mindful growth so that added density — or gentle density can be easily incorporated into the fabric of a community. 

Missing middle housing is well-suited to fit into existing neighborhoods because it is efficiently sized and designed with a lower perceived density.”
