LIVESTREAMED EVENT

Join us on Thursday, March 5 at 9am PT/12pm ET for Aligned Action for Housing Solutions, a livestreamed event focused on building shared strategies for housing affordability, equity, and access.

Safe, stable, and affordable housing is increasingly out of reach for people in the United States. Through panel discussions and demos from this year’s Housing Venture Lab cohort, we’ll dig into where policy, capital and innovation can work together to meet this urgent need. 

We’ll explore questions like:

Which innovative ideas have the most potential to change housing for the better?

How should policy evolve to support their potential?

What can local leaders do to influence their communities and the national landscape?

How can we access the resources we need to build opportunity?
