Featured: AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION's HOUSING INITIATIVE Planning Home

Today's housing challenges demand new tools and better planning. The housing options we plan for today will foster the homes that families will grow, thrive, and dream in tomorrow.

APA conceived Planning Home, an organization-wide initiative, to reshape the way planning is used to address America's housing affordability crisis. We challenge planners, developers, policy makers, and advocates to think bigger — to change state laws, improve local practices, convene to address pressing problems, and reimagine ways to engage with communities and reach solutions together.

Guiding Principles

Six principles underlie APA's action agenda to alleviate the nation’s housing affordability crisis.
