SUMMARY:Reforming Land Use Regulation to Encourage Housing Supply
DESCRIPTION:State\, regional\, and local governments all play a role in regulating the processes that govern the production of new housing. Their approaches have important ramifications for the housing supply and\, by extension\, the affordability of housing. Over the past few decades\, some states\, city councils\, and regional planning bodies have been rewriting their laws\, ordinances\, and planning documents to encourage more housing. \n\n\n\nAt this in-person event\, experts from around the nation and within Minnesota will discuss changes made and lessons learned from different approaches to planning\, zoning\, and other policies that influence housing production. \n\n\n\nSpeakers include:\n\n\n\n\n\nJon Commers\, Visible City and former member\, Metropolitan Council\n\n\n\nJenny Larson\, Three Rivers Community Action\n\n\n\nJeff Levine\, AICP\, Department of Urban Studies and Planning\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\n\n\n\nMike Maguire\, Mayor\, Eagan\, Minnesota\n\n\n\nMary Kyle McCurdy\, 1000 Friends of Oregon\n\n\n\nJohnny Opara\, JO Companies\n\n\n\nKatherine Payne\, AICP\, Fair Share Housing Center\n\n\n\nJenny Schuetz\, Brookings Institution\n\n\n\nDavid Wellington\, Wellington Management\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation

SUMMARY:Following the Dollars: Measuring the Efficacy of Federal Broadband Funding 
DESCRIPTION:The federal government has $42.45 billion scheduled for distribution through the BEAD program\, the most recent in a number of federal funding programs aimed at closing the digital divide. Where and how those federal dollars are allocated depends on both the program’s infrastructure and the quality of collected data.  \n\n\n\nThis webinar features research evaluating past and present federal broadband programs and their underlying data\, providing insight into the policies’ design\, implementation\, and sustainability. \n\n\n\nSpace is limited. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2024 Digital Inclusion Webinar Series\n\n\n\nJoin us during Digital Inclusion Week for a series of webinars highlighting the latest research on digital inclusion.

SUMMARY:The Broadband Affordability Burden: Exploring Research and Policies for Affordable High-Speed Internet for All
DESCRIPTION:The broadband affordability gap across households in the U.S. is one of the primary obstacles to accessing the internet. Of the 28.2 million U.S. households that do not have high-speed broadband\, 18 million are offline because they cannot afford the cost of an at-home internet connection. According to a Benton Institute survey\, 43 percent of low-income households are subscription vulnerable\, meaning they have lost service because of difficulty paying broadband bills\, find it very difficult to afford service\, or live at or near the poverty line.    \n\n\n\nThis webinar features research on the cost and affordability of high-speed broadband\, especially for low-and-moderate income households. It looks at the household factors associated with the broadband cost burden\, the implications of the end of the Affordable Connectivity Program\, and strategies for making broadband affordable for all.  \n\n\n\nSpace is limited.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2024 Digital Inclusion Webinar Series\n\n\n\nJoin us during Digital Inclusion Week for a series of webinars highlighting the latest research on digital inclusion.

SUMMARY:The Rural Futures Series: The Lay of the Land: Labor\, Zoning\, and Housing in Rural Communities
DESCRIPTION:In 2022\, at a conference in Grand Rapids\, MI\, the Chicago Fed helped create conversations on the challenges and opportunities rural economic development faces. Now\, we’d like to start building on those conversations with a deeper discussion on how rural communities are attracting labor with the help of creative zoning practices and housing policies\, as well as ways to mitigate the risks of economic development. Come learn about how communities are reimagining land use and collaborating with their neighbors on place-making initiatives that not only attract labor but also the employment opportunities that come with having a sufficient workforce in a region. The conference will also include a trip to Newton\, IA\, to see how Newton has executed some of these initiatives after the closing of their biggest employer\, Maytag. \n\n\n\nOver two days\, you will learn about the following: \n\n\n\n\n\nReplicable strategies for attracting and retaining laborGain an understanding of how rural communities can attract and retain a skilled workforce through discussions on current labor trends\, immigration\, and strategies to make rural areas more appealing to skilled workers.\n\n\n\nMitigating risk in rural economic developmentDiscover techniques for managing risks in rural economic development for investors and communities alike. Sessions will explore the roles of public funding\, partnerships\, and regionalism in creating environments conducive to investment and community trust.\n\n\n\nCreative housing solutionsExamine housing markets and the reasons for shortages in rural communities. Sessions will also explore creative approaches to addressing rural housing challenges through policy\, partnerships\, and community engagement. Learn how to encourage housing development that attracts skilled workers and supports community growth.\n\n\n\nHistorical perspective on zoning and land useUnderstand the history and impact of zoning policies on community and economic prosperity\, and then delve into how rural areas can rethink land use to promote sustainable growth and resilience.\n\n\n\nBus tour of Newton\, IowaParticipate in a hands-on learning opportunity with a visit to Newton\, Iowa\, where participants will see how community-driven initiatives are revitalizing the area and creating new opportunities.\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit the event registration site for the latest agenda details. \n\n\n\nRegistration Deadline: October 8\, 2024. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation

SUMMARY:Evaluating Digital Skills: Data\, Measurement Tools\, and Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Demand for digital skills in the labor market is high across occupational sectors. Research from the National Skills Coalition and Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta found that 92 percent of jobs analyzed required digital skills\, yet a third of workers do not have the digital skills needed for these roles. This digital skill gap disproportionately impacts lower-income individuals\, limiting career options and opportunities for economic mobility.    \n\n\n\nThis webinar highlights research on evaluating digital skill levels and the implications for workforce participation. It addresses methods for measuring digital skills and the importance of understanding varying skill levels to help close the digital skill divide.  \n\n\n\nSpace is limited.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2024 Digital Inclusion Webinar Series\n\n\n\nJoin us during Digital Inclusion Week for a series of webinars highlighting the latest research on digital inclusion.
