    Speaker:
     
    The first of a 4-part series, ULI will present the Terwilliger Center’s Home Attainability Index, a data-rich resource for understanding the extent to which a housing market is providing a range of choices attainable to the regional workforce. The data can help to:
    • Identify gaps in home attainability and provide better context to understand the residential market;
    • Provide context by connecting housing costs to the wages earned by specific occupations in a region through an Occupational Analysis;
    • Explicitly identify and highlight racial, socioeconomic, and intra-regional disparities and inequities; and
    • Enable national and regional comparisons to inform housing production, policy, and financing decisions.
    In addition to exploring national and regional data compared to local conditions, we will also be joined by representatives from the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority, Piedmont Housing Alliance, and Habitat for Humanity to discuss their ongoing projects and insight into the local affordable housing market.
     
    Following the presentation of the Housing Affordability Index, a local panel will discuss recent progress of their affordable housing projects, followed by a Q&A.
     
    Panelists:
    Betsy Roettger, Chair, Board of Commissioners, Charlottesville Redevelopment & Housing Authority
    John Sales, Executive Director, Charlottesville Redevelopment & Housing Authority
    Sunshine Mathon, Executive Director, Piedmont Housing Alliance
    Dan Rosensweig, President / CEO, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville
     
    The next event, to occur in early summer, will discuss challenges to affordable housing from a policy perspective.
