NACo Housing Task Force
NACo President Denise Winfrey announces the NACo Housing Task Force |
Launched in November 2022, the NACo Housing Task Force brings together county government officials from across the nation to illuminate the most critical housing challenges and opportunities from the county government perspective.
Through the task force, NACo will elevate county-led solutions and innovations for addressing our nation’s growing housing affordability and inventory crisis and identify intergovernmental and public-private approaches, informed by the policies, practices and partnerships of America’s counties, that enhance housing affordability and stability for our nation’s residents.
County Role in Housing
Counties are instrumental in community planning, land use, zoning and enacting policies and other regulations that affect housing. Regardless of specific county functions and responsibilities, all counties have the potential to establish and enhance partnerships with public, private and nonprofit sector stakeholders.
Task Force Scope of Work
Under the leadership of the co-chairs, the Task Force will develop a detailed analysis outlining the challenges local communities face regarding housing across the country. Final products will include a landscape report, a series of case studies from across the country and a blog post series that details convening findings.
The Task Force will host in-person meetings and produce original research to examine the role of county governments in housing. The Task Force will meet in person in November 2022 to kick off the nine-month project, with additional in-person convenings in February and May of 2023, culminating in the release of a national housing landscape at the NACo Annual Conference in July 2023.
Task Force MembersNACo President Denise Winfrey appointed 30 county leaders from across the United States with the mission of examining comprehensive county-led solutions to housing.
