National Housing Conference and its research affiliate the Center for Housing Policy will present a two-day series of online workshops about high-impact housing policies that states and localities can use to improve housing outcomes for low- to moderate-income working families. Wednesday's chat will provide an overview of the ever-expanding range of these state and local housing policies, as well as an opportunity for participants to learn more about such innovative policies through HousingPolicy.org -- a new online guide to state and local housing policy developed by the Center, which will be launched on January 29. Thursday's discussion will focus on how to put individual housing policy tools together to form an effective state and local housing strategy.
Panelists will include:
Conrad Egan, president and CEO, National Housing Conference (Moderator)
Jeffrey Lubell, executive director, Center for Housing Policy
Erika Poethig, program officer, Program on Human and Community Development, The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
Brenda Torpy, chief executive officer, Champlain Housing Trust
Mark A. Curtiss, managing director, Massachusetts Housing Partnership
Elizabeth Davison, former director of the Montgomery County, MD, Department of Housing and Community Affairs
Kalima Rose, senior director, PolicyLink
