Industry Launches 'Let America Build' Campaign to Address Housing Shortage
A coalition of industry leaders has launched the national public awareness campaign, 'Let America Build,' aimed at increasing housing supply in the U.S. The initiative emphasizes that building more homes is essential for addressing a current shortage estimated at 4.03 million units by Realtor.com research. The campaign follows the passage of the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which provides new tools and incentives for local governments to streamline housing development processes. Founding participants include major real estate platforms like Realtor.com, Zillow, eXP Realty, as well as organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and the National Association of Home Builders. The campaign encourages a fact-based dialogue on land use policies, permitting procedures, and construction methods that can expand local housing supply. It does not take political positions but aims to inform communities about how they can create more affordable housing opportunities.
