Lunchtime Forum

The region’s housing shortage has impacted everyone, and those who rely on affordable housing have been hit the hardest. According to a recent study, the Bay Area’s affordable housing funding gap is estimated, conservatively, to be $1.45 billion a year. It may seem daunting to close that gap, but it’s not unachievable with major measures set forth and approved by voters or state officials. Join us to learn about how we can grow the necessary funding for affordable housing in our region. Generously sponsored by Bank of America.
