Part 3/8:
Legislative Initiatives to Address Housing Affordability
With thanks to state-level leaders such as Senator Jesse Solomon and Representative Mia Gregerson, officials introduced innovative solutions focused on housing co-living arrangements. Co-living units, which typically rent for $850 to $950, present an affordable alternative to the burgeoning costs of traditional rentals—where studio apartments can exceed $1,400. The leaders emphasized that co-housing represents a common-sense approach to increase housing supply while promoting community and diversity in neighborhoods.
