What will it take to make local housing affordable? And why does it matter?
Join C4C for the next event in our bi-annual series of Community Forums: “Who Gets To Live Here? The Search for Local Housing Affordability.”
Produced in partnership with The Nugget, this free public event will dig into local housing challenges, pursuing solutions to help make Sisters Country livable for all.
NOTE: FREE childcare, live-streaming, and other accessibility services are available. See more details below.
The forum will be held at the Sisters Community Fire Hall, with light refreshments provided. Our esteemed panel of local business, nonprofit, and civic leaders will discuss:
The roots of our current housing problem
The state of housing affordability and availability in Sisters Country, and what’s at stake
Which housing initiatives and policies are working, which aren’t, and what's on the horizon
What else is needed – from policy makers, developers, and other stakeholders
Resources available for those seeking housing in Sisters Country
Following the initial panel discussion, we will open the floor to audience Q&A and broader dialogue.
