Is housing still part of the social safety net? Foreclosures have affected many families, and as more people lose their jobs, some face the specter of homelessness. How do experts in the housing field see the challenges and opportunities of the coming decade? What new pressures will we see in the housing market due to economic conditions? Is the Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness still viable? What can we expect from the Housing Levy this fall? Bring your own questions, and join CityClub for a lively discussion on the current state of housing in our city.

Co-presenting organizations: AIA Seattle, Building Changes, Central District Forum for Arts & Ideas, Committee to End Homelessness, Housing Development Consortium, Impact Capital, King County Housing Authority, Seattle Housing Authority, Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness, Seattle Office of Housing, Solid Ground, and YWCA of Seattle/King/Snohomish County.
