Since COVID, housing development in Taos has faced a series of unexpected pressures. Rising construction costs, supply chain delays, labor shortages, higher interest rates, and growing community opposition have made it harder for projects to move forward. Together, these factors have slowed housing production at a time when our community needs it most.
