Aligned Action for Housing Solutions (Event Recording)

On Thursday, March 5, we partnered with the National League of Cities to host 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 explored the ways policy, capital and innovation can work together to meet this urgent need.
