Agenda for Policy Conference
Traffic jams and unaffordable housing are a daily battle for many Californians.
- How do residents, especially working families, cope with high housing costs and long commutes?
- How is their quality of life affected by their housing and transportation options?
- What are the costs to California communities in terms of sprawl, congestion and wasted resources?
NHC’s research affiliate the Center for Housing Policy will present findings from exciting new work on housing and transportation tradeoffs funded by The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Panelists from the public, private and nonprofit sectors will offer their insights into real-world solutions to expand housing and transportation opportunities.
