Abstract

The State and Local Housing Action Plan underscores a growing shift in housing leadership from the federal government to state and local entities. With increasing authority, capital, and capacity, state governments, municipalities, housing finance agencies, and civic actors are spearheading innovative strategies to expand and preserve housing. Amid federal policy stagnation and proposed restructuring—including block grants, tax credits, and work requirements—this de-facto “defederalization” has prompted a surge of state and local initiatives focused on land use, construction methods, regulatory streamlining, capital deployment, and governance reforms. The Action Plan provides a framework of replicable tools organized across five key segments of the housing ecosystem, advocating for their combined implementation to drive regional impact. By aligning the roles of diverse stakeholders and offering implementation guides tailored to various community contexts, the Plan serves as both a practical guide and evolving roadmap for housing innovation in an increasingly decentralized policy environment.
