Join us for a thought-provoking discussion exploring the complexities of housing through the interconnected lenses of urban planning, community development, finance, sustainability, homelessness, and affordable housing. This session will bring together a diverse group of experts to unpack the challenges and opportunities shaping Asheville’s housing landscape.
Speakers will dive into how intentional planning, innovative investment strategies, and meaningful cross-sector collaboration can help address pressing housing needs while fostering long-term resilience. The conversation will also highlight approaches to creating inclusive communities that support residents across income levels, strengthen neighborhoods, and contribute to a vibrant, economically healthy Downtown.
To make the conversation even more engaging, attendees can expect a few interactive elements—including quick games to help visualize key concepts and a light pop quiz to spark discussion and reinforce key takeaways. Come ready to participate, share perspectives, and learn alongside fellow attendees.
We anticipate this to be a highly attended event, bringing together business leaders, policymakers, developers, and community members who are all invested in Asheville’s future. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of an important and dynamic conversation.
