Calling the Bay Area Home: Tackling the Affordable Housing and Displacement Challenge

Saturday, February 20, 2016, 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Oakland Marriott City Center 1101 Broadway, Oakland (at 12^th St. City Center BART Station)

Please join us at a half-day event bringing together community and business leaders, housing developers, elected officials and city planners for a timely and important dialogue on the role that Bay Area local governments and regional agencies — as well as the state and federal government — can play in addressing skyrocketing housing costs and displacement of long-time residents.
Who should attend?

• Elected officials and local agency staff
• Community and business leaders
• For-profit and affordable housing developers
• Advocates

This half-day forum will focus on:

• Regional trends and community impacts
• Common challenges and barriers
• Local and regional strategies, solutions and implementable actions
• Appropriate role for local jurisdictions, regional agencies, and state and federal government

Participants will also break out into four smaller groups to discuss specific challenges and strategies for (1) San Francisco, (2) the Peninsula and South Bay, (3) the East Bay and (4) the North Bay. Your comments will help inform future discussions and actions.
