We focus on proven, pragmatic reforms that remove barriers to housing and empower communities to grow.
Legalize two-flats, three-flats, four-flats, townhomes, and small apartments in residential areas. These home types were once the backbone of Illinois neighborhoods and can be again, providing attainable housing options between single-family homes and large apartment buildings.
ADUs, also known as coach houses, granny flats, or backyard cottages, utilize existing homes and infrastructure to produce smaller, more affordable housing options near jobs and transit. In doing so, they expand access to high-opportunity neighborhoods without requiring large-scale redevelopment.
Eliminate costly parking mandates that drive up housing costs. Let builders and communities decide how much parking they actually need rather than requiring expensive spaces that may sit empty, adding tens of thousands of dollars to the cost of every unit.
Cut red tape in the development process. Faster, more predictable permitting means more homes built sooner and lower costs passed on to renters and buyers. We support clear timelines, objective standards, and by-right approvals for code-compliant projects.
