Description
Over the past few years, Main Street America's Research team has developed multiple reports and tools focused on housing, including the new “Building Opportunity on Main Street” (BOOMS) Tracker. In this session, we will explore the data that has been collected through the BOOMS Tracker thus far and discuss the meaning and implications of that information (e.g., projections of additional housing units that could be added in vacant spaces, economic impacts of newly occupied units, etc.). Finally, we will discuss promising next steps local programs can take toward activating vacant spaces and adding housing.
