Across the country, efforts to address the issues of affordable housing, home repair and homeownership are gaining traction. The sheer scale of the challenges facing average Americans in finding and maintaining decent housing is pushing these issues onto the national and local political agendas. Yet even with this growing momentum, we need more firepower to move helpful policies, investments and programs forward. We need stronger alignment across stakeholders in our communities and we need greater public support.
Dr. Tiffany Manuel, an expert in public will building, will discuss how all of us can take advantage of the current momentum in the field and make a stronger case for our work. This plenary will be followed by a interactive break-out session by the same title.
