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.
Building more housing requires the right people working from the right playbook. It takes lawyers who know the cases, researchers who know the data, and policymakers who know how to turn both into results. The YIMBY Law Conference brings them together.
“We have to speed up the process of approving and building housing until everyone has a stable, affordable home.”
