Following years of underbuilding, underinvestment, and extraordinary growth – driven by a complex mix of factors – the West is facing severe housing shortages.  The workshop will highlight strategies to advance rural, middle-income, and affordable housing development and recommendations to ensure that federal programs function effectively for western states.  Key topics include regulatory reforms, attainable homeownership, and resilient housing. 

BRAND West is the 2025 WGA Chair initiative of New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.  The initiative focuses on increasing access to housing in western states, looking specifically at how to address housing availability and affordability and promote smart and sustainable development in communities throughout the West.
