>>Housing Shortage Initiatives Explored For Next Year
(Harrisburg, PA) -- Proposals addressing the affordability and shortage of housing are gaining a higher profile at the state and national level. The issues surfaced at recently-concluded legislative budget hearings and legislative committees have advanced some housing bills in recent months. Governor Josh Shapiro also has proposed several housing budget initiatives in his proposed state budget. Market watchers say the issues are gaining attention because of the COVID-19 pandemic, generational shifts, market forces and zoning laws.
