Affordable Housing Fireside Chat
On November 13, 2024, we hosted our first-ever Affordable Housing Fireside Chat between former Congressman David Price and former housing advisor to President Obama and current nonresident fellow at the Urban Institute, Jim Parrott. They discussed the policy and politics of the issue, along with the prospects that a new administration and congress will take steps to address this important issue in the years to come.
