The 2020 Housing Summit is back and in a virtual three-part series where we will explore policies, practices and potential solutions to address our housing crisis.

  1. Demystifying the Missing Middle
  2. New Solutions to Foundational Challenges | August 11
  3. Bringing it Home | September 10

Our first Housing Summit session will provide attendees an opportunity to dive into ‘missing middle’ housing as a response to state mandates and unattainable prices. Experts in housing research, innovation, state policy and fair housing will discuss actions we can take now to ensure a future of attainable housing.

Speakers will share insight and opine on:

  • What ‘missing middle’ housing looks like, and why it matters
  • The difference between density and crowding and how that impacts public health
  • How building more densely can foster a better quality of life, increase racial equity, and build community character
  • The state policy ecosystem we are planning, building and buying in
  • Common myths and harmful fallacies that come up in housing conversations
  • The role of Accessory Dwelling Units and ‘Tiny Houses’

Following the moderated conversation, attendees will have the opportunity for Q&A.
