CHICAGO, IL — Nationally-recognized builder F.H. Paschen released a new report today: 2026 Trends in Government Multi-Family Housing Construction. This housing-industry guidebook is the latest installment of the company’s five-part 2026 Construction Trends Educational Series.
The report provides a roadmap for local officials looking to navigate the growing demand for affordable and accessible housing in their communities. It identifies five major shifts shaping the government-housing industry, including the rise of workforce housing for the “missing middle”, the adaptation of senior housing for “aging-in-place” and a new focus on the total cost of building ownership.
“Suburban leaders are facing a demographic tidal wave as their communities age,” said Tom Cross of F.H. Paschen. “With the number of seniors in the Chicago area expected to double by 2024, we know that communities have to build differently. Elected officials who get this right will see their communities thrive, while those that sit on the sidelines will have to catch-up.”
This new guide also highlights how zoning changes are allowing for mixed-use developments that are increasingly becoming essential for attracting critical members of communities like teachers, first responders and healthcare workers who need to live near their jobs.
“We hear it everyday from local government officials: housing is a direct promise to their citizens, but capital and budgets are tighter than ever,” said Leo Wright of F.H. Paschen. “This new guide will help our partners see around corners and help them make housing decisions today that will ensure their communities remain desirable and affordable for the next 30 years.”
The 2026 Trends in Housing Construction Guide is available for download at F.H. Paschen’s website.
