3:30–4:30 pm Breakout Sessions

It's Easier Than You Think: A Paradigm Shift to Increase Housing Supply —Meeting Rooms 204 & 205 Most Michigan municipalities are challenged to increase their local housing supply and meet the shelter needs of ever-changing populations. It is a complex problem, but with a different view the fixes might be easier than you imagine! This session highlights changes you can make to your zoning code, to development review processes, and to your master plan. The Michigan Association of Planning (MAP) is developing a guidebook that will equip local leaders with the tools you need to create a new regulatory framework and talking points for housing success.
