Peer Networking: Housing

TOOLBOX 2018: Peer Networking Series on Local Planning and Implementation
Housing Work Session
Thursday, May 17 from 12:00 – 3:00 pm

The region is growing at a historic pace, and with this growth comes challenges in how to ensure the availability and affordability of homes for all residents. As the region plans for the year 2050, how should regional policies and actions ensure housing is affordable and connected to jobs, services, and transportation options?

The work session will take a “deep dive” into this complex topic, with a three-hour session that includes an overview of policy and regulatory frameworks, and small-group discussions to help identify regional policy priorities and pathways to move forward to address housing issues.

Hear from presenters, including:
• Marty Kooistra, Housing Development Consortium
• Alexander Casey, Zillow
• Emily Alvarado, City of Seattle Office of Housing
• Brian Lloyd, Beacon Development Group

The small-group discussions will focus on:
• Housing supply
• Incentives for affordable housing
• Funding and financing
• Displacement and preservation
• Assessment, monitoring, and reporting
