Flexible land zoning, more multi-tenant developments, and even tiny homes are among some of the proposals on the table as DuPage County officials continue an ongoing exploration of addressing housing affordability challenges within the region.

“When I took office, one of my top priorities was to research and begin planning for DuPage to seek affordable housing solutions,” County Board Chair Deb Conroy said during a presentation on the topic at a meeting Tuesday, March 11. “We’ve learned an awful lot about what we can do and things that we maybe need to change. The journey continues.”

18-month review with consulting organization

Grounded Solutions Network, an organization based in Washington, D.C., has been working with DuPage County officials throughout the course of the past year-and-a-half to explore avenues — some new to the area — to help ensure the region has housing available to people in all income brackets.
