Shaping the Future of Housing - 2nd Annual Regional Housing Summit
Join us on Tuesday, June 30, 2026 from 6:00-8:30 PM, Alliant Energy Center
Everyone always talks about the housing crisis, but what is it and what can we do to address it? Elected officials will discuss the challenges they face, key opportunities to address the crisis and what we can do to expand the dialogue and improve local housing outcomes. Single family housing developers and experts will discuss obstacles to creating affordable housing, and critical steps we can work on together to rebuild the ladder into homeownership!
