One of the main drivers of homelessness in the Bay Area is simply a lack of affordable housing for people with the very lowest incomes. In Part 4 of our series “In Search of Home: Solutions for the Homelessness Crisis” we’ll take a look at some innovative strategies developers and cities are exploring to fund projects and lower the cost of construction. We bring together housing developers, housing experts and Bay Area residents to discuss what works to bring more permanent housing that formerly homeless people can actually afford.
Guests:
Patrick Kennedy, owner, Panoramic Interests - a development firm that has been building in the Bay Area since 1990
Carolina Reid, professor in affordable housing and urban policy, Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of California at Berkeley
Matt Franklin, president and CEO, MidPen Housing
