Illinois needs more housing solutions, and time is running out.

The BUILD Plan is a major step toward expanding housing opportunities, supporting affordability, and removing barriers that slow development across our state.

Now is the time for REALTORS® to speak up.

Contact your lawmakers today and help push this plan across the finish line.

REALTOR® Michael D. Oldenettel discusses the state of housing in Illinois, the growing challenges surrounding affordability and availability, and why it is vital Springfield legislators pass the BUILD Plan to help address them.

For years, Illinois REALTORS® have been showing up, speaking out, and pushing for solutions to one of the biggest challenges facing communities across our state: the housing supply crisis.

For Illinois REALTORS® CEO Jeff Baker, the urgency behind this work has been clear. At this year's REALTORS® Day in April, Baker stated:

“This legislative session, we mark the culmination of years of REALTOR® advocacy…”

That work has taken time, focus, and a clear vision for what housing in Illinois can become. The BUILD Plan reflects that effort, bringing together practical solutions to help cut red tape, support new housing opportunities, and open more doors across the state.

Because when REALTORS® show up together, we do more than talk about change.

We help make it possible.

Lena residents whose homes were damaged by tornadoes shouldn’t face lengthy zoning approvals to rebuild homes that already legally existed. It only adds delays, higher costs, and prolonged hardship for families trying to recover. https://bit.ly/4eXcohv
