9:00am-5:00pm
Join Generation Housing and The Press Democrat on Friday, October 11, 2024 for the 2024 Housing Solutions Summit. Conveniently located in the North Bay hub of Petaluma, the summit will bring together leaders and advocates to discuss actionable solutions to the housing crisis—and how to engage in those solutions. Now in its 4th year, the 2024 Housing Solutions Summit is a not to be missed event.
The Summit will feature informative and inspiring speakers, including:

+A panel from Minneapolis, Minnesota, which has leveraged local solutions to spur a 12% increase in housing production in just six years, featuring Councilmember Jeremiah Ellison, Tram Huang, and Andrea Riehl, from Neighbors 4 More Neighbors; moderated by Jennifer Palmer.
+Todd Delmay, lead plaintiff in the lawsuit that led to marriage equality (see his TED Talk here) in conversation with Óscar Chávez, Community Foundation Sonoma County CEO (see his TED Talk here) and Alina Harway, NPH Communications Director on applying lessons from the marriage equality movement to catalyze pro-housing public and political will.
+For policymakers and jurisdictional staff: A working lunch with a panel of multifamily housing developers moderated by Housing Trust Silicon Valley CEO, Noni Ramos, to answer the question: What local policies would attract you to develop in North Bay jurisdictions?
+For leaders, advocates, and community members: a facilitated working lunch for attendees to engage with each other and Generation Housing team to learn how best to amplify their stakeholders’ needs and stories and critical Gen H messaging.
+ Release of the State of Housing Sonoma County report, including report card assessment of local jurisdictions’ housing progress.
