3. Programs are growing and evolving.
4. Programs hold their promise in addressing local affordable housing needs for low-income households.
5. Most units created through inclusionary housing programs have long-term affordability.
6. Considerable variations in terms of program design and outcomes exist across states.
7. Tracking of affordable units remains inconsistent.
Grounded Solutions Network created the first nationwide what?
Inclusionary Housing Map
What is the name of the type of program that generates fees for the development of affordable housing from both commercial and residential development?
Linkage/Impact Fee Programs
Which of the states/regions had the highest Survey Response Rate?
Massachusetts.
Name 3 of the six states in which IH programs have been identified for the first time since 2016.

What are the three ways IH policy intent is defined?
1) The policy or program was created to increase affordable housing supply
2) The policy or program was created to promote social and economic integration
3) The policy or program was created to incentivize any type of development as long as the underlying policy or program ensures or includes an increase in the local affordable housing stock.
What two reasons are IH programs distinguished from linkage/impact fee programs in this study?
1) To understand which IH programs were designed to directly yield affordable units (either on-site within market-rate buildings, or off-site in a different location).
2) To see which IH programs generate fees for the development of affordable housing from a broader range of development types.
Which three states have the highest share of IH programs and municipalities?
New Jersey, California, and Massachusetts.
What are the three reasons for excluding IH state-level policies?
1) Inclusionary housing programs are known to be local responses (and therefore state-level policies fall outside of the traditional scope of inclusionary housing).
2) It is not feasible to accurately count local policies or programs that directly result from these state-level policies. (Because local jurisdictions vary widely in whether and how they incorporate such state law ordinances)
3) There is no way to comprehensively track unit/fee production resulting from these state-level policies.
What is the Duty-To-Serve Rule?
A duty for the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) to serve three specified underserved markets.
1. Manufactured housing
2. Affordable housing preservation
3. Rural markets
