Published on Thursday, September 24, 2026

PROVIDENCE, RI — The Rhode Island Executive Office of Housing today announced that applications are officially open for Housing Champions, a new voluntary program that recognizes municipalities taking meaningful steps to support housing production and smart community development. 

“Rhode Island’s future depends on our ability to build strong, thriving communities where people can put down roots and businesses can grow,” said Governor Dan McKee. “That starts with making sure we have enough homes that are affordable for the people who live and work here. The Housing Champions program is an important step in building a stronger partnership between the state and our cities and towns as we work together to meet Rhode Island’s housing needs and create more opportunity for families across our state.”
