Innovative Policy Database
This dashboard is a repository of nascent, emerging policies, programs, and government initiatives across four innovative housing topics and all levels of government (federal, state, and local). The current topics include: "Yes in God's Backyard", office-to-residential conversion, transit-oriented development, and social housing. The data covers policies that have been proposed and passed, as well as policies that were proposed and failed. When you hover over a specific policy or initiative, you will see that we categorized each policy by "lever" — "lever" refers to the tool the policymaker used to achieve the policy's desired outcomes. For example, the "lever" could be a change to the zoning code, a tax incentive, or additional funding.
