Rebuilding Together Featured at the 16th Biennial Policy Summit

Housing is the foundation of everything. It determines who has access to transit, fresh produce, good schools, and good jobs. Home repairs of the current housing stock are very cost-effective, non-disruptive and an often-overlooked response to our housing needs. 

The importance of home repair programs will be highlighted at Policy Summit 2023: Communities Thriving in a Changing Economy in Cleveland, presented by the Federal Reserve System. The conference, which focuses on workforce and economic development, will bring together local and national experts, researchers, practitioners, funders and policymakers to discuss the latest research, policies and best practices.

I will be a panelist for a session discussing how home repair programs contribute to overall neighborhood quality. I will also be speaking on the connection between health and housing, how national home repair programs are developed and implemented, how local conditions influence program strategy and how Rebuilding Together measures its impact in communities.

The 16th biennial Policy Summit will be held on Wednesday, June 21 through Friday, June 23. Come learn about the challenges and opportunities to keep people safe in their home!
