This year, Our Affordable Housing Summit focused on how the San Joaquin Valley is leading the way in creating diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities. We heard from organizations like The Greenlining Institute and Self-Help Federal Credit Union on how to bring about equitable community development in valley communities; Topics of water management, addressing homelessness, and different sources of funding to help increase the housing supply were all discussed during this year’s breakout sessions. We invite you to take a look at the materials and presentations from the event and reach out to us if you’d like more information on the San Joaquin Valley Housing Collaborative.

Stay tuned for more information on our upcoming events!
