Local community advocates in towns with comparatively low levels of affordable housing are critical players in reshaping planning and zoning to be more welcoming to a diversity of people. Creating Affordability: A Guide for Local Zoning Advocates is designed for community members who want to spearhead efforts to bring affordable housing to their communities. It is written with the non-expert in mind with a goal of working through the many challenges and obstacles faced by advocates, including site selection, working with a developer, political issues, and more.
