The Results
The Starter Home Plan will test its hypotheses, refine its methods, and validate its approach through analysis of data collected from real-world demonstration projects. Data will be shared through a dashboard on this site.
ACCOUNTABILITY & OUTCOMES
Validating the Starter Home Plan's Approach
Each element of this plan is designed to be measurable, testable, and transparent. We continuously refine the model based on real outcomes — from the PMC's temporary mandate to the seven plays driving system change.
Validating the PMC
The proposed PMC is intended to be a temporary entity, operating for 18–24 months. It will be successful if it delivers the following outcomes:
- Stitches together fragmented systems across housing data infrastructure.
- Identifies significant gaps in data collection, particularly around developer economics and housing production costs, and sets standards for data quality.
- Serves as a bridge until the governor establishes a permanent Department of Housing in 2027.
- Establishes baseline outcomes for affordable housing development by both nonprofit and private sector builders.
- Promotes interoperability among agencies and secures commitments to a shared knowledge base.
- Fosters collaboration with other states and sectors to leverage best practices while encouraging a cultural shift toward openness and shared learning.
Validating the Plays
Each Play has defined, measurable targets used to monitor progress, ensure accountability, and validate success.
-
☑ Successful establishment of a functioning industry association operation across the state
☑ Adoption of legislative policy that supports off-site construction methods
☑ Number of units delivered using off-site methods, with an upward trend over time
☑ Growth in aggregate statewide capacity and corresponding utilization output
☑ Cost and time reductions correlated with scale of units delivered via off-site methods
☑ Reduced time and increased predictability in securing permits and approvals
☑ Establishment or accreditation of a training curriculum and program
☑ Worker retraining numbers increase over time
☑ Enrollment in training programs and subsequent hiring of trained workers
-
☑ Number of active systems-based developers statewide
☑ Number of systems-based development projects completed per year
☑ Demand for systems-based development workforce training programs
-
☑ Number of permits drawn under this program and the resulting units delivered
☑ Consistency of project timelines and reduced approval times for program participants
☑ Reduced permitting costs for those utilizing the program
☑ Increased adoption of off-site methods as measured by volume of units delivered
☑ Utilization (purchased and downloaded) of pre-approved plans from the hub and marketplace
-
☑ Number and type of new financing programs designed and launched
☑ Number of factories now viable due to new or enhanced financing programs

☑ Need for public subsidies declines as the private market responds to proven opportunity
☑ New and enhanced financing programs become permanent fixtures
-
☑ Number of regional land clearinghouses established
☑ Number of sites and acres assembled and distributed per clearinghouse
☑ Passage of land bank legislation enabling regional land banks
☑ Number of clearinghouses that adopt land bank functions enabled by new legislation
-

☑ Adherence to prescriptive timeline requirements by local jurisdictions
☑ Number of viable starter home parcels identified and made available
☑ Number of qualified starter home financing programs and eligible buyers
☑ Projects invoking density bonuses and by-right development status
☑ Number of new starter home developers entering the market
-
☑ Growth in number of supportive small businesses in the ecosystem
☑ Growth in member companies joining the OIA (Off-site Industry Association)
☑ Increase in successful partnerships that reduce starter home time to market
☑ Time required to bring new businesses to market
☑ Infrastructure in place to support logistics and assembly businesses
☑ Demonstrated industry buy-in and participation rates
