Susan Dewey: Fostering Healthy Communities
The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the fundamental connection between housing and essential needs like education, economic development, urban mobility, and public health. CEO Susan Dewey will discuss the critical role of housing in fostering healthy communities, the new resources available for action, and how Virginia Housing is working with partners and stakeholders to make “safer at home” more affordable and equitable for all.

Dave McCormack: Capitalizing on Chaos
Waukeshaw Development, based in Petersburg, VA, has invested more than $80 million in underserved and overlooked communities across the Commonwealth. The company takes on white elephant buildings and non-traditional projects that defy conventional wisdom and creates successful outcomes. Hear Waukeshaw founder Dave McCormack discuss how he knows what to look for, which partners to engage, and how to trust his gut when developing buildings no one else will touch.
Will Herbig & Charles Brown: Reconnecting Communities
Around the world, communities face pressing health challenges related to the built environment. Individual and public health outcomes are the result of many factors related to where people live and work and the influence that their homes, workplaces, and communities exert on their well-being. A core component of thriving communities, health is shaped by an accumulation of factors from housing to transportation, education, and job opportunities — the social determinants of health.
Steve Nygren: Biophilic Design: A Foundation of Wellness Real Estate
Biophilic design principles are the foundation of Serenbe's community placemaking. This approach strives to develop in unison with nature and our natural world rather than imposing a design idea on the land and draining the earth's resources.
Serenbe’s dense but nature connected land plan provided a model during the pandemic when people could social distance but stay connected from their front porch and numerous gathering spots in nature within walking distance of their home.
With an emphasis on art, agriculture, education, wellness and respect for our planet and each other there is a common sense approach to how we can build healthy places for people to thrive rather than create shelters to exist.
The Serenbe Biophilic model is transforming the community product to meet consumer demand for wellness real estate.
