We work to end the housing shortage and achieve affordable, sustainable, and equitable housing for all.
The Builder’s Remedy
Every eight years, California cities and counties must create housing plans. Those that don’t are subject to the Builder’s Remedy which allows more homes to be built anyway.
Active Lawsuits
Pro-housing laws have been passed in dozens of states in recent years. The critical next step is to make sure those laws are followed. YIMBY Law is here to make sure laws are followed and homes are built.
Who We Are
YIMBY Law is the legal arm of the pro-housing movement and is housed in YIMBY Action’s 501c3 affiliate, Yes In My Back Yard. YIMBY Law enforces pro-housing laws passed with YIMBY support.
“We have to speed up the process of approving and building housing until everyone has a stable, affordable home.”
- Sonja Trauss, YIMBY Law Executive Director
