Housing Policy & Supply Gap Simulator
Analyze how legislative levers—zoning reform, expanded federal tax credits, modern offsite construction speed, and targeted infrastructure grants—close structural housing deficits over a 10-year planning horizon.

Evidence-Based Housing Policy & Supply Mechanics
When executive leaders emphasize "going big on housing," systemic change requires synchronizing supply-side deregulations with capital subsidies. Isolated demand-side assistance without new supply inflates property prices, while zoning deregulation alone fails to produce deed-restricted deeply affordable homes without federal tax equity.
Federal LIHTC & Bond Volume
The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) finances over 90% of subsidized affordable housing in the US. Expanding the credit allocation by 50% and reducing private activity bond thresholds from 50% to 30% unlocks tens of billions in private institutional equity for 30-year deed-restricted workforce developments.
Eliminating Regulatory Bottlenecks
Mandatory parking minimums add upwards of $40,000 per stall to structured garage construction, disqualifying walkable infill sites. By-right missing-middle zoning legalizes duplexes, quadplexes, and accessory units without lengthy discretionary zoning board hearings.
Targeted Infrastructure Pairing
Water, sewer, electrical grid interconnects, and access roads account for 15–25% of greenfield and suburban master development costs. State and federal infrastructure grants remove local municipal debt burdens, converting raw parcels into shovel-ready land immediately.
