Planning Home Housing & Community Development Division
Our Division is a nationwide network of professionals dedicated to building healthy and vibrant communities. We support educational and networking opportunities for planners, educators, housing professionals, community developers, and allied professionals.
We offer great opportunities to promote these topics within the field of planning and within APA, particularly in relationship to the provision of shelter, human needs, and the development of the built environment.

Planning Home
Today's housing challenges demand new tools and better planning. The housing options we plan for today will foster the homes that families will grow, thrive, and dream in tomorrow.
APA conceived Planning Home, an organization-wide initiative, to reshape the way planning is used to address America's housing affordability crisis.
