Maine’s housing shortage continues to shape our economy, workforce, and communities. At our next Eggs & Issues, we’ll explore what’s driving the shortage, why it persists, and which solutions are proving effective here and across the country.
Join Alex Horowitz of The Pew Charitable Trusts and Greg Payne from the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future for a forward-looking conversation on housing production and policy reform. Drawing on national data and real-world examples, Alex will highlight how states and cities are removing barriers to development and expanding attainable housing options, while Greg will share insights on Maine’s recent policy progress and the path ahead.

We’ll also examine Maine-specific trends — from housing inventory to infrastructure challenges — and discuss what it will take to accelerate production as the state works toward its goal of 84,000 new housing units by 2030.

This program will highlight practical, proven pathways to help Maine build the housing it needs for the future.
