Pathways to Housing Affordability: Developing Coordinated Strategies to Increase Housing Inventory
October 8 @ 9:00 am – 2:30 pm EDT
Access to homeownership and quality housing is vital to a strong U.S. economy. Beyond providing shelter, housing affects a person’s employment prospects, job quality, stability, and more. Understanding the housing sector and how it impacts people’s lives is key to the Fed’s work to promote financial security and meet our dual mandate.
Pathways to Housing Affordability is a series hosted by the Philadelphia Fed to examine housing issues and challenges in the Third District. The series brings together business and community leaders, policymakers, bankers, nonprofits, researchers, and experts in the housing and workforce development sectors to advance collaborative, community-focused solutions.
Developing Coordinated Strategies to Increase Housing Inventory
The final session will explore community-focused solutions to achieve affordable housing development. Attendees will examine how intentional planning can create communities that meet the needs of the people who live and work there.
Experts will discuss development strategies that provide housing opportunities for workers and how they have leveraged collaborative decision-making for shared investment to strengthen local economies. Topics will include:
- strategic zoning and planning to expand housing options;
- statewide housing plans and collaborative implementation;
- building local development capacity by training and supporting new developers; and
- opportunities to expand housing options for low-income workers.
You can view the current agenda here. Additional details will be added soon.
Who Should Attend?
Representatives from local government, lending institutions, nonprofit organizations and foundations, housing developers, workforce development boards, chambers of commerce, and housing finance agencies, as well as others in the housing development ecosystem, are encouraged to attend.
