RRIF & TIFIA should be fueling equitable growth near transit, but red tape has slowed both programs down for years. Our @LOCUSDevelopers coalition says it’s time to unlock transit-oriented developments full potential. Learn more ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hub/…
In July, Congress expanded the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. LIHTC can unlock the development of hundreds of thousands of new affordable rental homes nationwide, especially if supported with other funding streams. See more ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hub/…
Former HUD Secretaries Ben Carson and Henry Cisneros highlighted the need for the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act! We urge Congress to address the needs of aspiring and existing homeowners when it returns from August recess. @LOCUSDevelopers washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
The ROAD to Housing Act of 2025 was recently introduced in the Senate, and includes smart growth priorities for zoning, transit-oriented development, & more. The committee is considering the bill today! Find out more ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hub/…
🏛️ The Senate’s new tax package could shape the future of community development. It proposes making LIHTC + NMTC permanent—a big win. But it misses the mark on urgent needs like affordable housing + inclusive growth. See the breakdown + what’s next ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hub/…
The Opportunity Zone tax incentive could support affordable housing—but Congress must fix it first. 📢 Contact your representatives and urge them to reform Opportunity Zones for better transparency and impact!⤵️ @LOCUSDevelopers smartgrowthamerica.org/opportunity-zo…
Join us for a webinar with @LOCUSDevelopers on Thursday, June 5th, from 3-4 p.m. ET on how Opportunity Zones create positive results for housing development! Learn more and register here ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/locuswebinarse…
We need more affordable homes—and the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act could help deliver. Join @NAAHLDC on June 10th at 2 p.m. ET to hear from supporters, developers, & investors on how this bill boosts supply where it’s needed most. Register here ⤵️ us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

This summer, we're hosting a series of webinars on Opportunity Zones, small scale and missing middle housing, and alternative capital sources. Learn more and register here ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/locuswebinarse…
A coalition of 14 organizations, led by SGA and @LOCUSDevelopers, wrote to Congress urging them to refine the Opportunity Zone incentive to better deliver high-impact projects such as affordable housing in well-connected locations. Read more ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/stakeholders-c…
Innovative policy and reforms are essential if we want to address the housing supply crisis. We're excited to see what this caucus might accomplish and are ready to support any policy strategy that delivers much-needed housing in well-connected locations.

As a proud member of the Neighborhood Homes Coalition, we applauds the Senate reintroduction of the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act — a bill with strong bipartisan support designed to bring more affordable, owner-occupied homes to market 👏 Learn more⤵️ neighborhoodhomesinvestmentact.org
Today, @SmartGrowthUSA staff attended an excellent discussion on how federal policy can support more housing, hosted by the bipartisan YIMBY Caucus. Thank you to @RepRobertGarcia & @RepChuckEdwards for your work and remarks and to @Up4Growth for organizing the event!

Tax policy shapes our communities. To build more walkable, mixed-use spaces, we need tax priorities that support smart growth—not sprawl. Learn more about priorities identified by our @LOCUSDevelopers coalition for reforms can help achieve our vision ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/the-developers…
CDFI financing is an important pillar to any community development project. De-funding CDFIs will impact the efforts of much-needed housing projects. Learn more about the value of CDFIs and how they help create more vibrant places⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/financing-comm…
