Come and join a policy panel, Can Developers Solve the Affordable Housing Crisis? Solutions and Barriers to Affordable Housing Development. Sign up here.

According to The Wall Street Journal, nine of the 11 most populous cities in the United States are dominated by renters. But in recent years, living in Chicago's historic neighborhoods has become less affordable for many. This panel conversation will feature two developers, one nonprofit and another market-rate, who will discuss the potential for addressing affordability through new housing. They will be joined by 35th Ward Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, who represents parts of Albany Park and Logan Square, and a representative from philanthropy to speak about the housing needs of the city's residents and, specifically, those of LGBTQ homeless youth, and real solutions to the affordable housing crisis.

Refreshments generously provided by AIA Chicago.

MPC's Marisa Novara will moderate the panel. RSVP here.
