The event included exhibitors and breakout groups on labor partners, social benefits, government partners, neighborhood advocates, public-private partners, and traditional and creative financing.
The event concluded with a luncheon where breakout group findings were shared. Ben Metcalf, Director of the California Department of Housing and Community Development was the luncheon’s keynote speaker.
