Building Better Homes: Government Strategies for Promoting Innovation in Housing

Abstract

This report examines the structure, characteristics, and motivations of major participants in the housing industry to explore how innovation might be improved or accelerated within the industry as it currently exists. This approach recognizes that the housing industry is large and complex and changing any part would be difficult and changing the whole practically impossible. In this context, the report identifies options and strategies for the federal government to consider as it continues to further advance innovation in housing to make homes more affordable, durable, and safe for their occupants and builders, and to provide other benefits to society.
