Dear Friend, SGA is thrilled to announce the launch of our new program, the Center for Zoning Solutions (CZS), our home for the zoning reform movement. CZS will share research and reports, lead federal advocacy efforts, and support communities across the country in tackling barriers to smart growth and advancing policies to encourage mixed-use development, location efficiency, and diverse housing options. |
|
CZS' biggest priorities 1. Codes for today’s communities
Replace inefficient and exclusionary zoning regulations to unlock economic, social, and health benefits for all communities. 2. More housing in the right places
Implement effective policies to encourage mixed-use development and diverse housing options to create thriving, well-connected places. 3. Supporting a people-centered movement
Provide residents, advocates, and decision-makers with training, direct support, and accessible tools to advance zoning codes that center community needs. |
