MPC Vice President for Housing and Community Development Robin Snyderman will serve as moderator for two of the panel discussions at this event. 

Mark your calendar and plan to join your colleagues from around the region on Thursday, Nov. 19, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for a one-day forum on employer-assisted housing (EAH), hosted by the National Association of REALTORS® and the National Housing Conference in partnership with the Greater Philadelphia Association of REALTORS®.

EAH is often described as a win-win-win tool because employers, employees and the community each benefit. As the nation continues to seek solutions to the housing crisis facing our country, EAH presents itself as one tool, among many, to help working families live in an affordable home near their workplace.   EAH also helps to attract and retain productive, stable workforces and revitalize neighborhoods. Join us for this one-day event to learn how you can be a part of a solution.

You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn from workforce housing experts, connect with your peers from the region, and share your story in a dynamic learning environment!

  • Altressa Boatwright, New Courtland Elder Services
  • Joe Canfora, NAR Regional Vice President for Region 2
