(Session 2, June 2024) Unlocking Affordable Housing in the Lehigh Valley: A Community Discussion
Thank you to everyone who joined our second session of the housing summit series, "Unlocking Affordable Housing in the Lehigh Valley," on June 18. This session focused on setting clear short- and long-term objectives and broadening our engagement to include all relevant voices in these critical discussions. We finalized our short-term goals, which include improving existing units, redeveloping vacant or underused buildings, and increasing advocacy for affordable housing and co-op development. Our long-term goals include facilitating the transition from renter to homeowner, expanding public housing and community services, and enhancing capacity building and resource allocation.
To view our complete list of pre-discussion and final short/long-term goals, to read a recap of our other sessions, or to RSVP for our next session, please visit communityactionlv.org/housing-summits.
