The Bloomington-Normal (BN) Region has seen an increase of housing prices for rental and real-estate properties during the past three years. Changes to residential zoning to allow for different housing typologies such as duplexes and triplexes, is seen as a way to increase housing affordability and housing diversity. With the idea of finding options to increase affordable housing in BN, this white paper was developed to identify policy changes successfully implemented in cities and states in the U.S. to allow for different housing typologies or “missing middle housing” in the typical Detached Single-Family Residential (DSFR) Zones.
