Strategies to Solve the Housing Crisis 

Addressing the housing shortages is a critical challenge for economic developers across our region.

In August of 2024, US housing starts increased by 9.6% to an annualized rate of 1.356 million units, indicating a rebound in new construction. However, the housing affordability crisis persists, with nearly half of US households unable to afford a $250,000 home.

·       Join us for an insightful presentation on innovative strategies being implemented by economic developers across North America. 

·       Learn how to attract housing developers, secure funding for development projects, and implement best practices to drive housing growth.
