State Leaders Land Use Forum Application

Enterprise’s newly launched State Leaders Land Use Forum seeks to equip state policymakers and practitioners with the collaborative space, peer learning, and technical support needed to tackle housing affordability through land use and supply solutions.

The forum is designed for senior-level governmental officials with both policy authority and implementation responsibilities, as well as senior leaders from state-level nongovernmental or quasi-governmental partner organizations. State-level teams should target three to five individuals. Inaugural members will share real-world strategies, receive advisory support, and accelerate effective policy reforms through both virtual and in-person convenings.

Please complete this intake form to be considered for participation in the Enterprise State Leaders Land Use Forum.

Bipartisan representation is encouraged.
