On January 22, 2026, we talked to leading housing experts about the relationship between housing production and affordability, and explored policy tools to provide stable, affordable housing across a range of incomes.

This was the third webinar in our series on our region’s housing needs, and how researchers, policymakers, and advocates can work together towards solutions.

Speakers:
