Inclusionary Zoning
Housing for working class people

More than 900 jurisdictions across 25 states have inclusionary housing programs.

More than 180 jurisdictions throughout the nation have adopted rent stabilization policies of some kind. Allentown must pressure state lawmakers to adopt a statewide rent stabilization.
