Session #: 047-33
Presenter(s): Panel
Session Length: 1:30 hr.
Program: 2007 ULI Fall Meeting
Date: October 24-26, 2007
Former HUD Secretary and CityView Chairman Henry Cisneros will present an in-depth look at today's housing crisis and examine solutions to making homeownership available to working families, based on his recently released book Our Communities, Our Homes: Pathways to Housing and Homeownership in America's Cities and States—a collaborative effort with former HUD Secretary Jack Kemp and scholars Kent W. Colton and Nicolas P. Retsinas of Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies. Housing is a durable form of economic development that directly affects quality of life for Americans. With housing prices rising faster than incomes in many parts of the country, homeownership for many working families—teachers, firefighters, police and nurses—remains a distant dream. Our nation's cities, states and the federal government can take specific actions and use various tools to achieve such important goals as reducing chronic homelessness, preserving affordable rental homes and boosting sustainable homeownership. Housing policy must continue to adapt to the ever-changing housing market to address the workforce housing crisis.
