Policy & Research
Community Progress is at the forefront of policy development and practical research shaping national, state, and local responses to vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties.
Since our inception, we have supported policy reforms that help communities advance land banks, code enforcement, tax foreclosure and other tools that help communities transform vacant properties into opportunities for a more resilient economic future and a better quality of life.
Our Collaborative Approach
Our approach to policy and research work is collaborative by design. We are actively engaged with a wide range of national coalitions, ensuring that communities struggling with vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties have a voice in a variety of national policy initiatives. We are partners of the following national coalitions:
- Rental Research Community of Practice
- Neighborhood Homes Investment Act Coalition
- Americans for Financial Reform's Housing and Mortgage Coalition
- Campaign for Housing and Community Development Funding
- NLIHC's Disaster Housing Recovery Coalition
