NACo’s Counties for Housing Solutions will provide free virtual technical assistance to help counties assess and update their zoning codes to increase affordable housing development and overall housing supply. These fast-paced technical assistance sprints are designed to be high-intensity and implementation-focused, with a county being on track to formally adopt an amendment to their zoning code at the conclusion of the sprint.
This program aims to support small and rural towns with a population of less than 50,000 to jumpstart projects that will build, rebuild, or refresh community spaces that will help foster local connections, such as technology upgrades, outdoor spaces, the arts, and community centers. Projects that add to a sense of place or could lead to further investment are particularly interesting to the funding agency.
