Why Housing Feels Stuck
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.
Zoning and infrastructure also play a large role in housing development. Read more about making it easier to build the housing we need.
Housing Is Built Through Partnership
No single policy, project, or organization can solve housing alone. It takes alignment across landowners, public leaders, employers, developers, and community members to move ideas into action. When the right partners work together, housing becomes possible.
