We will discuss Neighbors Welcome's 2026 platform, answer questions, and brainstorm legislative advocacy strategies.
Preview of Our 2026 Legislative Platform
- Minimum lot size reform
Create more affordable homeownership opportunities by allowing homes to be built on modestly sized lots where water and sewer are available - Parking reform
Cap excessive requirements that derail homebuilding (as well as small businesses) or add thousands of dollars in project costs - Conversion incentive
Offer a new gap-financing tool for converting vacant offices, former schools, and other underused buildings to housing - Technical fixes
Update prior-year legislation based on stakeholder feedback about what is and is not working to get homes built - We will also be supporting:
The 2026 housing bond, tenant right to counsel legislation, and extension of the historic tax credit program
