Making Champaign-Urbana Affordable and Abundant.

We leverage data and policy to build a resilient city that works for everyone.

Legalize More Homes

Champaign-Urbana cannot become affordable again until we allow more homes in more neighborhoods, at more price points, near jobs, schools, and daily needs.

Lower the Cost of Living

Affordability is more than rent or mortgage alone, so we focus on housing, transportation, and utility costs together to reduce what it actually takes to live well here.

Make Growth Financially Productive

We champion land use and public investment that strengthen the tax base, lower long-run infrastructure liabilities, and make city finances more resilient without raising household burden.
