LCHI Workshop: Beyond the Usual Suspects: Addressing Barriers to Participation for Community Engagement

Remote via Zoom,

Housing opportunities are made or broken at the local level, but recent research* has shown that the loudest voices in the room often do not represent the community as a whole. In this session, we’ll explore a variety of methods for inviting groups that are underrepresented in local decision-making, including renters, POC, and parents, into the conversation in order to create more equitable outcomes.

LCHI Workshop: ADU’s to Zoning Changes: Strategies to Encourage Housing Production

Remote via Zoom,

Historically, zoning has been used to exclude development, uses, and people. This workshop will explore how we can reimagine zoning to encourage certain development patterns, create needed homes, and attract a range of residents. Zoning-based tools ranging from ADU’s to design standards and housing “by right” can be used to accomplish these goals; this workshop will also discuss the practicalities of implementing these strategies.

LCHI Workshop: Local Preference: “...but who’s going to live there”?

Remote via Zoom,

What are local preference and affirmative fair marketing? Is local preference working the way people think it does? While the term seems self-explanatory, the mechanics of local preference are complex and not widely understood. Providing homes for local people and providing homes for new residents are equally important in a healthy, sustainable community, and we’ll explore how local preference is involved in that equation.
