Insights from Main Street America's 2023 Trends Survey
Main Street America regularly conducts a detailed survey of the nationwide network of local Main Street programs. This survey seeks to understand the landscape of operations and priorities across the Main Street Movement. The 2023 Trends Survey represents the 15th iteration since 2005. From program structure and budget to recent success and challenges, this data provides an overview of how the Main Street Approach is being carried out across the country.

  *   A New Housing Guidebook for Local Leaders
In 2022, Main Street America launched the "At Home on Main Street" research initiative with the generous support of the 1772 Foundation. Through this initiative, we have studied housing data from the U.S. Census, surveyed Main Street programs on the state of housing in their districts, and held a virtual convening of Main Street leaders and affiliates to discuss major issues and potential solutions. Last month, we shared the next major product of this effort: A Housing Guidebook for Local Leaders. The Guidebook is a practical and easily digestible report containing practical "how-tos" about identifying housing opportunities, keeping inventory of buildings and vacant spaces, making sense of housing finance, understanding the common code and regulatory challenges encountered with housing development and vacant space activation, and more.
