Get Your City To Say Yes
to Housing.
The national housing shortage makes it harder for people to live in communities like yours. Join thousands of neighbors showing up to fix it.
America is short nearly 4M homes.
Higher housing costs
When we don't build enough homes, people are forced to compete, and prices rise.
Less opportunity
Restrictive rules keep people out of communities with great schools, jobs, transit, and amenities.
Longer commutes
When housing can't be built near opportunity, people are pushed farther out — meaning longer commutes and more pollution.
We organize neighbors to change housing policy.
For decades, a vocal few have turned out to block new homes. YIMBY Action (Yes In My Back Yard) helps neighbors outnumber them at hearings, back pro-housing candidates, and change the rules that keep homes from getting built.
Chapters
Local chapters pack the hearings where housing lives or dies, in rooms that used to belong to people who said "no."
Endorsements
Chapters research candidates and members help decide who earns an endorsement, so you know who's pro-housing on your ballot.
Impact
From parking reform to ending apartment bans, members are winning the changes that let more homes get built.
National change starts with local neighbors.
Speaking up is easier when you're not alone. When a housing proposal comes before your local government, members organize support, meet with decision-makers, and make sure pro-housing neighbors are in the room.
Housing is on the ballot.
The people you elect decide whether homes get built. See which candidates and ballot measures YIMBY Action chapters have endorsed near you.
When neighbors show up, homes get built.
