How does new housing affect affordability? Join us as we explore this question through a virtual screening of the video, What Luxury Housing Does to Homelessness, followed by a Q&A with creator and Falls Church City Councilmember Justine Underhill. 

Known for her civic work in Falls Church City, Justine has been making waves with her dynamic video series breaking down complex housing concepts into digestible formats. Informed by research from across the globe and illustrated through engaging graphics and animations, Justine’s videos distill key insights from housing studies into clear and concise takeaways.

Join us for a screening of her video on the impacts of luxury housing on the housing market, followed by an interactive discussion on the connections between homelessness, affordability, and new housing. We will pay special attention to how these theories apply to our region – particularly Northern Virginia, where Justine serves as a local elected official.
