The Topic Is Housing.  From housing supply to consumer needs, there are an abundance of housing challenges in Manhattan that need our attention.  There have been initiatives and projects addressing these issues that residents may not be aware of.  A panel of local experts will share a sampling of issues and initiatives focused on specific housing challenges, and capture additional ideas and feedback from attendees.

Panelists:

• Aaron Estabrook, Manhattan Housing Authority
• Scott Seel, Alliance Real Estate
• Noah Rude, Renters Together
• Donna Schenck-Hamlin, Workforce Solar Housing Partnership

This meeting provides a preview to a more in-depth series of noncredit classes offered through UFM this spring and underwritten by Alliance Realty, Safe and Affordable Housing Action MHK, and Renters Together MHK.  This series is offered at no charge to participants, and will be offered via Zoom.
