In this session, participants will hear about how one region planning agency designed a regional housing strategy. Attendees will hear about the backdrop of support the agency created for local planners and communities to have dialogues about and take action on housing. Planners will understand how these leaders made connections between local and regional housing policy issues. Engagement opportunities using art, poetry, and data science will also be shared.
Design an engagement process for leaders with various levels of knowledge to tackle larger-scale planning issues. Learn what tools can help build an inclusive platform for change across a region.
Transform sticky issues and messages serving as barriers into progress. Understand tactics that can work effectively and those that fail and why.
Help planners understand and use a fair housing lens to evaluate existing conditions and the strategies that can be used to create and preserve housing stability.
