INTRODUCED BY SOLOMON, MAJOR, HOGAN, K. HARRIS, KHAN, HILL-
EVANS, GAYDOS, SANCHEZ, INGLIS AND SMITH-WADE-EL,
APRIL 15, 2026
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE ON HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT,
APRIL 16, 2026
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
1 Directing the Joint State Government Commission to study the
2 creation of a Statewide housing accelerator and to conduct a
3 comprehensive review of State and local housing approval and
4 permitting processes that delay residential construction.
5 WHEREAS, Communities across this Commonwealth are
6 experiencing a shortage of housing that is attainable and
7 sufficient to meet demand; and
8 WHEREAS, Limited housing supply contributes to rising costs,
9 workforce shortages and economic strain across Pennsylvania; and
10 WHEREAS, Many shovel-ready housing projects face long delays
11 due to inconsistent State and local permitting requirements,
12 conservation district backlogs and uneven local land development
13 review processes; and
14 WHEREAS, Prolonged approval timelines increase residential
15 construction costs and discourage the timely development of new
16 housing; and
17 WHEREAS, A coordinated Statewide approach could help identify
18 and reduce regulatory barriers that unnecessarily delay
1 residential construction; therefore be it
2 RESOLVED (the Senate concurring), That the General Assembly
3 direct the Joint State Government Commission to study whether
4 the Commonwealth should create a Statewide housing accelerator
5 to assist in advancing shovel-ready housing projects; and be it
6 further
7 RESOLVED, That the study include a comprehensive review of
8 State and local housing-related policies and procedures,
9 including zoning, conservation district approvals, land
10 development regulations and permitting processes to identify
11 barriers that delay residential construction; and be it further
12 RESOLVED, That the Joint State Government Commission evaluate
13 best practices from other states to develop recommendations to
14 streamline approvals, reduce unnecessary delays and expand
15 housing attainability across this Commonwealth; and be it
16 further
17 RESOLVED, That the Joint State Government Commission report
18 its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly no
19 later than one year after the adoption of this resolution.
