About this event

How do we navigate a severe housing shortage? How do we address the systemic barriers that prevent affordable housing units from being built and acquired? And most of all, how can we all work together to meet the housing needs of our community?

Mayor Andre Dickens and Lawrenceville's Mayor David Still discuss this topic live, hosted by Rose Scott, award-winning journalist and host of Closer Look on Atlanta's NPR, station 90.1 FM - WABE.

Joining the conversation is Focused Community Strategies’ President Jim Wehner, Gwinnett Housing Corporation’s Executive Director Lejla Prljaca, and Community Foundation's own Frank Fernandez.

Doors open at 9am, with a boxed breakfast and coffee available. Tickets are free, but mandatory.

Parking/transportation: 100 Forsyth Street Garage (covered deck), 103 Luckie Street Parking or the Peachtree Center Marta Station.
