Solving the housing shortage involves understanding complex, local housing policies and how they affect supply. Fortunately, resources like Up For Growth’s Charlotte Housing Policy and Affordability Calculator, help piece together some of these details. In this episode, we’re excited to welcome back Mike Kingsella, executive director at Up for Growth. Mike – and Up for Growth – have done a great deal to bring attention to housing affordability, policy and the market imbalance.
