Policy Innovation Lab: Affordable Housing Regulations
In this policy lab we will work with the Bristol VT Planning Commission to study the impact of current Bristol zoning regulations on affordable housing, and identify best practices in other municipalities for supporting affordable housing. We will begin by studying the politics of affordable housing and the impact of municipal regulation, next we will see how many national trends are also present in Vermont, undergo training in qualitative research methods, and finally undertake a team research project to recommend zoning changes in Bristol, Vermont.
