Utah’s Plan to Keep Homeownership Alive

Rep. Cal Roberts sits down with Rep. Jill Koford to talk through key housing policies from the 2026 General Session focused on affordability, homeownership, and increasing housing supply in Utah.

They discuss new efforts to expand accessory dwelling units (ADUs), invest in roads and water infrastructure needed for housing development, encourage smaller starter homes, streamline state housing programs, and reduce barriers for modular and offsite construction.

The episode also explores why home prices have outpaced wages, the challenges facing first-time homebuyers, and how lawmakers are working to keep the American dream of homeownership within reach for the next generation of Utahns.
