Today, leaders from the Build Homes Build Community coalition joined partners and lawmakers to highlight real solutions to Maine’s housing crisis.

The coalition is focused on a practical, bipartisan agenda that fits into three simple buckets:
1. Innovate.
2. Streamline.
3. Fund.

We need all three working together to build more homes, faster, in more places, at more price points. More housing means stronger communities, a stronger workforce, and a stronger Maine.
