More for Less? An Inquiry into Design and Construction Strategies for Addressing Multifamiliar Housing Costs
As a 2019 Gramlich Fellow in Community and Economic Development, Hannah Hoyt carried over 30 interviews with developers, architects, contractors and policy makers, who described the challenges of increasing multifamily housing production. They noted the need for significant policy changes, from more federal support for housing, to local zoning changes to encourage housing production and job training programs to address labor shortages in the trades. However, they also acknowledged the slow pace of these policy changes. In practice, multifamily project teams often face significant budget gaps, scrambling to reduce costs while still building quality housing.”
