2024 Conference Keynote

The Historic Preservation Response to the Affordable Housing Crisis

Nearly every city in America is experiencing a severe shortage of affordable housing. All too often historic districts are identified as the major cause of this crisis. The reality is, however, that historic and older housing need to be at the center of any affordable housing strategy. This session will focus on why and how historic preservation is part of the affordable housing solution as well as other findings on the impact of historic preservation in recent years. This Thursday evening event is open to all community members. Wine, beer, and light snacks will be served

Presented by Katlyn Cotton, Associate Principal with PlaceEconomics
