about the knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base synthesizes evidence-based reforms in land use, homelessness, financial tools, and building code, helping you move quickly from ideas to outcomes.

Each section outlines the problem, highlights scalable reforms, and links to vetted materials.

Knowledge Base is a curated, searchable library of pro-housing resources. It includes policy guides, case studies, reports, and implementation examples from across the country. It’s designed to save time by consolidating trusted, relevant information in one place.

The Abundance Network team and partners curate the resources. Everything is sourced from vetted, trusted organizations including academic institutions and nonprofit organizations, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Policy templates, research reports, data studies, case studies of successful housing reforms, talking points and messaging guides, and implementation “how-tos” from cities and states.

You can search by keyword (e.g., “ADU,” “parking reform”) or browse by category (e.g., Zoning, Messaging, State Policy). Filters allow you to narrow results by topic, region, or type of resource.

Every entry includes the source organization and a publication link. The Knowledge Base only contains resources reviewed and approved by our team.

We selected these resources based on their credibility and practical value for policymakers. Each comes from a reputable, evidence-based organization and highlights policies that either expand housing supply directly or strengthen local capacity to do so. We prioritized materials that are relevant to local elected officials, written in accessible and straightforward language, and easy to scan or navigate. When possible, we also included resources that incorporate quantitative data to ground their findings in measurable outcomes. Finally, we invited experts to review the list for robustness and to ensure the resources were current and up to date.
