## Resource

Delaware just passed bold new housing laws to tackle its affordability crisis — mandating more townhomes and duplexes, slashing approval delays, and cutting parking rules near transit to slash costs. With nearly 20,000 missing rental units and half of renters overburdened, the state aims to make a big chunk of new housing affordable — even as local governments fought back over zoning control. A key tweak? Developers pay a fee instead of costly traffic studies, speeding up approvals — especially for affordable projects. And while the governor backs the moves, a bill to protect homeless people from arrest didn’t pass — leaving some critical needs still unaddressed.
