For months, Grand Forks’ housing issues have been making headlines. There are problems of affordability and availability, and the city is working to address both. Over the next three days, the Grand Forks Herald goes beyond the meeting coverage and examines what’s causing the housing crunch and some possible solutions. Here’s what we’ll be covering:

Sunday

• Availability: We address the growth limitations in Grand Forks and the fact that future development appears to be in the hands of two key landowners.

• Accountability: A closer look at the city’s Blue Ribbon Housing Commission and what it accomplished.

MONDAY

• Affordability: We go beneath the surface to better understand why the cost of homes here is higher than other comparable markets.

TUESDAY

• Alternatives: We explore how areas outside of Grand Forks might be part of the housing solution.
