Category
Housing/Residential
The lack of housing affordable and attainable to American families has spread from coastal cities into communities across the country. It seems nowhere is immune to the pressures of providing adequate housing, causing challenges to families, employers, and the economic well-being of communities. Innovative solutions across the public and private sector have emerged to address these challenges: design and construction techniques that lower the cost of housing; financing tools to leverage funding sources; policy changes that unlock land, zoning, and public resources; and private sector involvement in building and preserving affordable housing. This panel will include diverse stakeholders in the affordable housing industry, sharing their insights and solutions for meeting housing needs.
