We’re going to start by going over key housing terms and trends, making sure we’re on the same page establishing the same foundation as we have these conversations. We will go over some zoning tools that communities are using to reach their housing goals and increase the availability and variety of housing types. Then we’re going to move into some considerations for place we will be talking about rural, urban, suburban. What type of place is your community and how does housing solutions and challenges present differently in each of them? Followed with some policy tools that go beyond zoning.
