NACo’s Counties for Housing Solutions (C4HS) program provides free three-month technical assistance sprints to address this challenge. In partnership with Smart Growth America, NACo has designed these fast-paced sprints to be high-intensity and implementation-focused with solutions that draw upon recommendations made by NACo’s 2023 Housing Task Force.Applications are currently open for NACo's third sprint, which will provide free virtual technical assistance to help counties assess and update their zoning codes to increase affordable Housing development and overall Housing supply. Participating counties are expected to be on track to formally adopt an amendment to their zoning code at the conclusion of the sprint.
