Help for towns to allow more housing

The Delaware State Housing Authority creates a pilot to help local governments update zoning. Participating towns and counties get technical help to allow higher-density homes in commercial or mixed-use areas. The program also supports more housing types, better walkability, and sustainable design using proven practices from other states. Only local governments that join the pilot receive help. The law sets no funding amount, end date, or penalties; it provides technical help and aims to build model policies.
