A half-day dialogue on increasing housing options

 

The outlook on housing leaped forward this past year, with nearly 1,400 new homes made possible in the City of San Luis Obispo alone. A good start, but what’s next?

The Housing Collaborative of the Central Coast is again convening the community for a half-day dialogue on bringing home more housing options. Attendees will learn from industry experts including Sonja Trauss – #34 on the Politico 50 – about:

  • Moving from “Not in my backyard” to “Yes in my backyard
  • State legislative changes
  • The future of housing

Program will be followed by a cocktail hour from 5-6 p.m.
