Zoning reform help for Delaware local governments

The law directs the Delaware State Housing Authority to create a pilot offering zoning reform help to participating local governments. The help supports more affordable housing, including more homes in commercial or mixed-use areas and a wider range of housing types. It also supports sustainable, walkable communities and proven planning practices from other states. Local governments can adapt these practices to their needs. The law provides no direct household benefit; effects on housing depend on the zoning changes local governments make.
