State Housing Plan (Housing 2030)
State Housing Plan (Housing 2030) is the statewide housing planning process where Rhode Island will come together to set concrete housing-related goals and align on strategies for making meaningful progress towards achieving these goals. Housing 2030 is grounded in the existing and projected housing needs of Rhode Islanders and Rhode Island communities. Housing 2030 aims to be an actionable plan that is not intended to sit on a shelf. Specifically, this plan is intended to inform tools for Rhode Island communities to use, to serve as a roadmap for policy and budget proposals for FY2026 and beyond, to guide the State’s use of federal funds, and to be adopted as the State’s Guide Plan Element – which will inform municipal planning efforts for years to come. While Rhode Island’s housing challenges are decades in the making and progress will take time, Housing 2030 aims to kickstart the process of improving housing in Rhode Island.
On April 23, 2025, Governor McKee and Secretary Goddard release a draft of the Housing 2030 plan for public comment. The draft plan can be accessed below. Please share comments and feedback here:
