Housing Solutions Lab

NeighborWorks^® America is excited to host the Housing Supply Solutions Lab* at the NeighborWorks Training Institute

Wed. Feb. 25, 2026, Chicago, IL

NeighborWorks America is bringing the housing field to Chicago for a working session built to move the needle on building and preserving supply. The Housing Supply Solutions Lab at the  NeighborWorks America Training Institute is where leaders come to solve problems that keep communities stuck. If you are trying to build, scale or preserve affordable homes in a tight market, this is the room you want to be in.

The pressures are real. Construction costs, land constraints and insurance spikes continue to stall new and renovated housing even as demand climbs. Across the NeighborWorks network, teams are fighting these headwinds every day. The Solutions Lab gives you the space, the experts and the peers to break through.

You will dive into:

• Innovative building techniques that shorten timelines and lower costs, including factory-built options and accessory dwelling units.
• Zoning and land use solutions that open pathways for density and faster development of affordable, resilient homes.
• Housing attainability tools that address cost barriers and insurance pressures, including shared equity housing models.

You will leave with real takeaways you can use. New tactics. New models. New partners. New clarity on what it takes to expand and preserve supply in today's environment.
