Housing Education Working Group

Through this community of practice, CIP will elevate the profession’s role in housing policy, development, and implementation, ensuring planners contribute effectively to measures that address local and national housing needs. The National Planning Community of Practice on Housing will equip planners with the training, resources, data, and networks they need to build capacity, provide creative solutions, and respond effectively to the housing crisis through their work.

The Housing Education Working Group will:

• Develop online learning modules that advance best practices in housing
• Identify case studies and resources that support these learning modules
• Inform CIP’s development of a National Planning Community of Practice on Housing that fosters knowledge exchange among planning professionals from across the country

The total estimated time commitment is 25-30 hours between January 5 and March 27, 2026. Members must be available for a two-hour kickoff meeting during the week of January 12, 2026.
