Take action in support of An Act to Promote Yes in My Backyard
The Joint Committee on Housing is hosting a public hearing on September 17th that will feature (H.1572 / S. 962) An Act to Promote Yes in My Backyard, along with several other important housing related bills.
The YIMBY Bill is our top priority this session and a strong hearing is key to advancing it out of committee.
We have created a Menu of Engagement that outlines three different actions you can take to support the YIMBY Bill.
Menu of Engagement
Submit Written Testimony
