Policy & Advocacy

Changing Systems to Make Affordable Housing Possible

Affordable housing isn’t just about building units, it’s about building systems that support equity, opportunity, and thriving communities. Front Porch Investments advocates at the local, state, and national levels to ensure housing policy drives real change. Since its formation in 2022, Front Porch has become a trusted voice and influential coalition partner in support of public policies and investments that promote affordable housing development and housing justice.

Affordable Housing Policy Priorities

Our current advocacy priorities focus on reducing systemic barriers to affordable housing and strengthening funding streams:

  • Expanding funding for affordable housing (Housing Trust Fund, Middle Income Workforce Housing Fund, tax credits)
  • Removing barriers to development (zoning, land use, TIF modernization) 
  • Promoting opportunity through community centered housing policy (displacement prevention, homeownership)

Our Approach to Affordable Housing Policy and Advocacy

Front Porch Investments drives policy change through collaboration, data, and education.

  • Coalition Building: We align partners across sectors to advocate for shared housing priorities
  • Data and Research: We use evidence and evaluation to inform practical solutions
  • Education and Engagement: We help policymakers, developers, and community leaders understand the economic and human impact of housing decisions
  • Implementation: We connect policy advocacy to on-the-ground results through active participation in planning and funding initiatives

We take a strategic and tiered approach to advocacy, ensuring our resources are used where they will have the greatest impact.

  • Leading by chairing and serving on city and statewide committees, testifying in legislative and city council hearings, and driving coalitions
  • Partnering by supporting lawmakers and their staff, coordinating with peer organizations, and submitting written comments on bills and ordinances
  • Monitoring by following emerging policy barriers and solutions, providing education and resources across the housing ecosystem, and staying connected with partners and stakeholders

Are You a Public Official?

Front Porch Investments serves as a strategic partner in connecting public officials to knowledge, resources, and people that make understanding and taking action for affordable housing easier.
