All across North America, cities are facing a housing crisis. With affordability and supply at record lows, the dream of homeownership remains a distant dream for many. This crisis has wide-ranging implications for city finances, climate, and urban development that affect all of us.

In Close to Home, housing policy advocate Dylon Martin explores how we got here and outlines some of the necessary fixes to get us going in the right direction.

Close to Home is the fourth book in The City Project, a series exploring what happier, healthier, and more just and sustainable cities look like—and how we get there.
