Practical Strategies to Increase the Supply of Housing

(Home-Sharing and More)

Tuesday, July 20, 2021 | Now On-Demand

Increasing the supply of housing is essential for addressing the housing crisis that is destroying many lives and is likely to cause unprecedented homelessness. The need for more places for people to live--especially at relatively affordable rates--is urgent and dire. Yet in nearly every community, there are a high number of people living with one, two, or three empty bedrooms in their homes or apartments. This "abundant resource" doesn't automatically solve the housing shortage, but it can be part of a powerful strategy that meets many needs--helping those who own homes, renters who are behind on rent, landlords, and people who need to find a place to live very quickly.

This webinar introduces a game-changing strategy map template for helping communities scale up a variety of programs that support shared housing as one part of a response to the housing shortage. There are many things that can be done by communities that then open up many new opportunities for individuals that would not otherwise be available. The webinar introduces powerful concepts that will be featured a full day of sessions in the “Deep Dive Day” that is part of the Housing Solution Summit. The Deep Dive Day on Increasing Housing Supply (August 24) will feature over 20 presentations and a live panel discussion. The Deep Dive Day will cover more than just home-sharing.
