A Dialogue with Coastal Washington Communities
Wednesday, October 20, 2021, 9:30-11:00 am PT (virtual)
||| FROM WA STATE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES |||
This discussion will explore questions about housing challenges that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges affect the community in multiple intersecting ways, such as economic stability and growth, sustaining a healthy and vibrant community, shifting demographics, and local workforce capacity to provide essential services. The conversation will help uncover how looking at housing challenges through a wider lens can be an opportunity to help communities thrive going forward.
Participating panelists will include those working on various dimensions of housing in coastal counties of Washington State and scientists who study various aspects of the role of housing in society. In a facilitated dialogue, they will explore how the ways we understand housing intersect with public policy choices as well as actions taken outside the public sector. The dialogue will examine key questions, drawing on multiple types of knowledge and expertise.
