2 - Affordable & Workforce Housing Panel Discussion from Cathy Tamsberg
A broader context of housing affordability in the Triangle
With increasing growth in our Triangle region, housing (un)affordability is affecting a greater swath of the population. Some policies are in place for affordable and workforce housing, though the ability to absorb the demand is limited. Further, our workforce is also being severely strapped by the increasing costs.
This expert panel discussion seeks first to provide commonly accepted definitions for affordable and workforce housing.
The panel will also illustrate different ways that communities have addressed these issues through government policies and land use planning.
Finally, panel experts will discuss the possible short and long term consequences based on affordable and workforce housingdecisions we make today.
