Rhode Island homebuilding gains momentum
Rhode Island’s commitment to building new homes has gained traction over the last year. According to the latest integrated housing report released on April 15, 2026, by the state’s Executive Office of Housing, 3,778 building permits were issued across municipalities within Rhode Island in the last year, the highest level since the 1980s.
“These numbers show consistent, meaningful progress year after year,” said Governor Dan McKee. “We’re seeing the results of our efforts with the General Assembly to work with cities and towns, remove barriers to development and make historic investments in housing.”
