Learn about housing in Hampshire County

Be among the first to explore key findings from Building Homes. Building Futures., the new four-county regional housing study conducted by the UMass Donahue Institute and join a conversation to help shape future housing strategies for the region. At this event, you’ll gain:

• A clear picture of current housing trends and needs in Hampshire County
• Insights into regional gaps and growth opportunities
• New tools communities can use to plan, produce, and preserve housing
• A chance to discuss practical strategies you can apply locally
• An opportunity to provide input on the next Regional Housing Plan

Help create a regional housing plan

The Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) is leading the update of the Pioneer Valley Regional Housing Plan to help communities in Hampden and Hampshire Counties address today’s housing challenges and plan for long term housing needs. This event will serve as the public kickoff of that effort.

Grounded in regional data, local knowledge, and community input, the plan will establish shared priorities and practical strategies to increase housing supply, improve affordability, support a range of housing types, and strengthen coordination across municipalities.

Input gathered at this forum will directly shape the goals, strategies, and implementation actions of the Regional Housing Plan.
