We are writing on behalf of the undersigned civil rights, community organizing, and affordable housing advocacy organizations with regard to the American Jobs Plan’s proposal to create a competitive grant program that would incentivize municipalities to change local zoning and land use policies. The undersigned organizations have been at the forefront of efforts to challenge exclusionary zoning through litigation, legislative reform, and advocacy for affordable housing. We are also committed to fighting the displacement of residents of low-income communities of color facing development pressures, which is an equally pressing racial and economic justice issue — but one that requires different tools.
