We're YIMBY Action.
We envision an integrated society where every person has access to a safe, affordable home near jobs, services, and opportunity.We are a network of pro-housing activists fighting for more inclusive housing policies. We drive policy change to increase the supply of housing at all levels and bring down the cost of living in opportunity-rich cities and towns.
Our Methodology

Political Activism
We use and distribute political tools to change the political landscape.
Education
We work to educate all citizens on how we got here and how policy change will get us out of the current housing crisis.
