MPC is serving on the national planning committee for this series of regional forums on workforce housing solutions.
Through employer-assisted housing initiatives, employers around the country have discovered the advantage of having their workers living in quality, stable homes near jobs and transportation. Employer-assisted housing is a bottom-line benefit that promotes a stable workforce and strong communities. In addition to leveraging public-private partnerships in support of workforce housing, employer-assisted housing initiatives engage employers as advocates for livable communities.
Come to this Bring Workers Home regional forum to hear
- How employees’ housing and transportation challenges (including high costs, lengthy commutes, and foreclosures) affect businesses’ bottom line.
- About innovative solutions employers are implementing to address these challenges.
- Of opportunities for new partnerships with local communities, businesses, and other stakeholders.
- What new federal programs are encouraging these innovative partnerships.
The Bring Workers Home forums are designed for a wide range of attendees, including employers and human resource professionals, REALTORS®, city planners, housing and community development leaders, local elected and appointed officials, state housing finance agency representatives, and others.
National Housing Conference, National Association of REALTORS®, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, International Economic Development Council, and MPC are working together to plan this series of regional forums on workforce housing solutions.
