About this Event
is the Puget Sound Regional Council’s (PSRC) new housing platform designed to provide equitable access to localized housing data and support faster, better-informed decisions across the development community.
Bringing together regional zoning data, a developable land inventory, feasibility analysis, and parcel-level housing projections, the tool empowers practitioners across King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties to identify sites, inform policy, and streamline development.
What to Expect:
Whether you are evaluating sites for affordable housing, preparing legislative testimony, or conducting market research, this workshop will help you:
- Learn about the Tool: Learn directly from the tool’s creators how to navigate soft-site filters, zoning overlays, and localized feasibility data.
- Test Real-World Scenarios: Walk through a collaborative tabletop game using real regional data to practice utilizing the tool in housing development.
- Cross-Sector Networking: Build direct working relationships with regional peers, elected officials, local planners, housing staff, and developers.
