Joliet Explores Housing Policy Framework and Terminology

The city council and planning staff engaged in a discussion to develop a housing policy framework and strategies, focusing on creating a shared language for housing terms and typologies. This involved reviewing existing conditions, national best practices from cities like New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, Grand Rapids, and Charlotte, and then breaking into small groups to define key housing terms and types. The goal is to build consensus on preliminary housing terms and typologies to inform the draft housing strategy plan for Joliet.
