Development Flags

Have a project that could use pro-housing support at an upcoming hearing? Flag it.

Development Flags is a simple way for homebuilders and developers to let the Gem State network know when a project needs backup — whether that's a rezone, a variance, or any hearing where a show of pro-housing support could make a difference.

When you submit a flag, we share it with our network so members can:

  • Show up at the hearing

  • Submit public comment or testimony

  • Spread the word to others who can help

How it works:

  1. Fill out the short form below with your project and hearing details

  2. We flag it to the network with enough lead time to organize support

  3. You get organized and informed support for housing during the hearing
