Access to affordable housing is a cornerstone of an equitable city. This session delves into actionable strategies aimed at fostering greater inclusivity and affordability within the housing market. Led by a panel of experts across sectors -- urban planning, legal, and community development -- this session offers an illuminating exploration into the multi-faceted approach required to address the pressing issue of affordable housing.

Topics will include Charlottesville’s newly adopted zoning policy, aimed specifically to densify the city and provide more housing to the community. What will be the challenges encountered in implementing this vision? This panel will explore the nexus of zoning regulations, development patterns, and other innovative solutions -- like land trusts -- that are tailored to the specific needs of Charlottesville.
