Both require proactive legislative solutions. Up for Growth Action is focused on policies that enable communities to build housing needed to meet the country\u2019s 7.3-million-home shortage, as determined by research from Up for Growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImproving housing accessibility and affordability across the full spectrum of American society is critical in transforming the communities in which we live, work, play and invest,\u201d said <strong>Chuck Leitner.<\/strong> \u201cDriving the real estate investment and operating industry\u2019s deeper engagement in addressing these and other housing issues is fundamental in the process and is why Up for Growth Action\u2019s mission is so vitally important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Up for Growth Action supports policies focused on tearing down systemic barriers to housing development, such as exclusionary zoning, and increasing access to capital for affordable housing development. Advancing solutions that address these challenges creates what Up for Growth Action terms \u201caccessible growth\u201d \u2013 prioritizing housing production in areas of high economic opportunity, areas that leverage investments in transportation and infrastructure, and in areas where jobs already exist.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Across Kentucky, our families and communities are facing a severe shortage of affordable homes,\u201d said <b>Adrienne Bush. <\/b>\u201cThis crisis is both urban and rural in nature, and the existing mechanisms are not sufficient to meet Kentuckians&#8217; needs.
