The housing shortage is a complex issue, and there is no single solution. However, forward-looking policy and actions along with a public-private partnership can solve this crisis and ensure that Cascadia remains a place where everyone can thrive.
“We need a comprehensive, all-in approach that tackles every aspect of the problem simultaneously—anything less will fall short. Our best opportunity to close our widening housing supply gap is to act comprehensively, addressing land, economics, and permitting in a coordinated, self-reinforcing way. Such action creates the potential to redevelop underutilized commercial properties for 1.4 million new housing units over the next 20 years.”
