Attend NAHB Affordable Housing Webinar on Dec. 14
Housing industry professionals interested in workforce housing approaches that work should plan to attend the NAHB webinar, “Housing That Works: State and Local Solutions to Housing Affordability,” beginning at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 14.
The 90-minute webinar is free and the last in a series of webinars hosted by NAHB’s Land Development Department.
Bridging the Affordability Gap
The housing affordability gap is a multidimensional problem that demands many different tools and a comprehensive strategy to successfully meet the varied housing needs of people with different incomes. No single strategy can fix the shortage, and no single strategy works in every market.
NAHB has conducted research and developed new publications and resources to help fill this information gap, with a view to sharing ideas across communities and fostering better solutions to meeting housing needs.
Webinar participants will provide a thorough discussion of the most proven methods of providing quality affordable housing. They also will explain how the current economic downtown plays into this issue and offer several strategies that can help bridge the gap for working families.
The speakers include:
- Deborah Myerson, AICP, a Bloomington, Ind.-based planning and development consultant who has written extensively on housing affordability and served as a speaker and author for both NAHB and the Urban Land Institute (ULI).
- Kimberly Burnett, an associate at Abt Associates, a research and consulting firm based in Cambridge, Mass. Burnett has conducted extensive research for NAHB, Housing and Urban Development and others on why some affordable housing programs work and some do not.
- Greg Ugalde, president of T & M Building Co., Inc., in Torrington, Conn., and an active member of NAHB’s Land Development Committee.
