Bill	DIRECTING THE DELAWARE STATE HOUSING AUTHORITY TO CREATE A PILOT PROGRAM TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR ZONING REFORM TO PARTICIPATING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.	This Joint Resolution directs the Delaware State Housing Authority to create a pilot program for the purpose of providing technical assistance related to zoning ordinance reform to local governments in Delaware. The goal of this pilot program is to help participating local governments identify and implement zoning practices that increase the supply of affordable housing and support goals such as equitable development and economic growth throughout this State. By giving local governments the technical assistance needed to modernize zoning ordinances, this pilot program will help Delaware close its affordable housing gap while allowing local governments the flexibility to adapt best practices to meet their jurisdictional needs. If successful, this pilot program will establish model policies for local government zoning ordinance reforms that can be expanded across this State.	us/states/de	Delaware General Assembly	153	SJR 8	Delaware SJR 8 (153)	joint resolution		enacted	Claire Snyder-Hall David P.
