Our movement is making waves nationwide! YIMBY Action and our chapters are leading the charge on critical housing legislation in key states, and our collective efforts are paying off. Here’s the latest on some of our advocacy:
-
Illinois – Missing Middle and ADU Bills Gaining Ground. We’re spearheading efforts on two big housing bills that would take Envision Evanston’s zoning proposals statewide. Our Illinois housing coalition is the only group leading the charge, and we have strong backing from the governor. A vote is expected in the next 8 weeks!
-
Virginia – 5,765 Letters Sent in Support of Pro-Housing Bills. YIMBY Action has been instrumental in supporting the Virginia Commonwealth Housing Coalition (CHC) by coordinating meetings, drafting legislation, and mobilizing advocacy. We supported 4 major housing bills including an ambitious housing targets bill that unexpectedly passed the House before failing in the Senate. But our work greatly energized housing champions across the state who are fired up to bring these bills back with even more support next session!
-
Colorado – Governor Champions YIGBY Bill. We’re making serious progress in Colorado, where the governor is actively supporting our YIGBY (Yes in God’s Backyard) bill. This would allow faith institutions to build affordable housing on their land. A decision could come in the next 8 weeks!
These wins are only possible because of YIMBYs like you. This is just the beginning, as our efforts ramp up in other states like Hawaii, Texas, and Maryland. Keep the momentum going – donate, volunteer, and help us push for a future where everyone has a place to call home!
