Our communities need both abundant, affordable housing and protected lands for healthy food, clean water, recreation and climate resilience. Our November 13 conference is dedicated to help make it happen.
SOLD OUT: Conference has reached full capacity; tickets are no longer available.
We are gathering at Mohonk this fall for interactive discussions with expert speakers and panelists about affordable housing and conservation in the Hudson Valley. Participants will work to develop collaborative solutions to questions such as:
- How can communities provide equitable, stable and affordable housing options in the Hudson Valley and protect the lands that we rely on for healthy food, clean water, recreation and climate resilience?
- What do collaborative solutions for addressing the climate and affordable housing crises look like?
- Where are the opportunities to collaborate to achieve both?
- How can we shift perceptions and attitudes to recognize the benefits of affordable housing to the community at large and to the economy?
