“Racism, racist policies, racist systems, and racist outcomes will
persist until it is in our economic, political, and cultural interests to choose otherwise.”

The Housing Indicator Tool 6.0
Progress Made, Pace Must Accelerate to Meet Regional Housing Needs

The Capital Region is falling behind at a critical moment. Slowing production, declining permits, and limited policy adoption and investment are undermining our ability to meet housing demand.
