The Plan and Playbooks
The Plan and Playbooks are practical guides for implementation. They are designed for policymakers, funders, developers, lenders, educators, and manufacturers ready to apply systems-based approaches in real projects.
Comprehensive and Scalable Starter Home Production Plan
Washington state has improved pathways to homeownership, but the supply of affordable starter homes remains limited. Civic Commons developed a scalable plan and playbooks to increase attainable for-sale housing through diverse home types and offsite construction methods.
Ecosystem Playbook
The Ecosystem Playbook outlines seven coordinated “Plays” that address fragmentation across the housing system, from standard-setting to financing to workforce development.
Demonstration Program Playbook
The Demonstration Program Playbook outlines a live, multi-site pilot designed to test standardized designs, master permitting, contracting, financing, and off-site construction methods under real world conditions.
The demonstration will:
✔ Build 30–40 for-sale starter homes
✔ Test multiple off-site construction approaches
✔ Collect open-book data on cost, time, and quality
✔ Validate pathways for statewide scaling
