Presentation Title: Local Policy: Housing Delivery from the Bottom Up  
The presentation outlines DuPage County’s strategic efforts to increase affordable  
housing through zoning reforms, inclusionary policies, and financial incentives,  
addressing barriers such as high costs and limited land availability. Key achievements  
include regulatory amendments enabling historic lot development, accessory dwelling  
units, and two-unit conversions, with future plans focused on establishing a land bank,  
housing trust fund, and new residential zoning districts. The presentation was given at the  
Grounded Solutions Network's 2025 Housing Conference in Washington D.C.  
Paul Hoss, Planning & Zoning Administration Coordinator wanted to share with the  
Committee what we presented at the conference. Item received and placed on file.
