Learning Objective 1:
Participants will be able to identify best-practices and communicate directly with the architects, contractors, housing developers, clients, funders, and service providers that are working to deliver housing and supportive services to our communities.

Learning Objective 2:
Participants will discuss housing solutions that can inspire the community and educate policy makers, planners, architects, designers, real estate professionals, housing advocates, and civic leaders.

Learning Objective 3:
Participants will be able to outline how supportive services for residents can be better integrated into housing projects, how mixed income communities can be developed, and how these projects can be integrated into the community without creating stigmas.

Learning Objective 4:
Participants will benefit from the expertise of architects regarding ways to achieve cost-containment, neighborhood engagement/ community buy-in, and insight about how to best overcome specific regulatory and procedural hurdles, hardships, and ‘red-tape’.

Learning Objective 5:
Participants will be able to communicate the leadership role of “inclusive housing architects” in realizing solutions to the housing and homelessness crises. The architecture community is in a strategic place to not only deliver technical solutions to achieve high quality design, reduce costs, and speed construction, but to also share valuable expertise at the front end, contributing to land use policy, research, etc.

Learning Objective 6:
Participants will explore case studies of successful housing solutions, including examples from the “Nomadic” architecture typology, presented by a Senior Project Manager and a Sustainability Strategist.
