Opportunity Overview
The Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) program provides competitive awards to State governments, County governments, City or township governments, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and Multi-jurisdictional Entities that have made progress in improving inclusionary zoning practices, land use policies, and housing infrastructure that will ultimately increase the supply of affordable housing.
Communities across America are suffering from a lack of affordable housing and high housing costs. Our current housing supply is not meeting the increasing demand for units in rural, suburban, and urban areas alike. Legal barriers and lengthy procedures in these communities often serve as roadblocks to increasing the nation’s housing stock. Less housing stock results in higher housing prices.
HUD is committed to confronting these barriers to help communities speed up new housing supply, lower costs to bring housing to market, and open up land for affordable housing. The Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) program rewards communities that have actively taken steps to remove barriers to be able to increase the supply of housing over the long term. Reducing administrative and structural barriers to increase the supply of affordable housing, especially in Opportunity Zones and rural communities, is the key to lowering costs.
Constrained supply drives up housing costs and reduces affordability. The American Community Survey estimates that in 2023, 39.3 million households (21 million renters and 18.8 million homeowners) were classified as “cost-burdened,” spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing. Limited access to housing has long-term effects on access to opportunity and ability to build generational wealth for low- and moderate-income people.
In 2024, HUD awarded the inaugural PRO Housing competitive funds to 21 winners to advance housing opportunities in communities across 19 states and the District of Columbia....
