Love is a House: How Cities Can Change Student Lives Through Affordable Housing

Every child deserves a home their family can afford, in a neighborhood that’s safe, supportive, and welcoming. In short: a loving community.

The United States is in an unprecedented housing crisis: rents and mortgages are at record highs, our housing stock is aging and does not match the needs of the workforce, and 2024 saw an all-time high for homelessness — and the crisis is impacting low-income communities and people of color hardest.

If the dilemmas we face as a nation are interconnected, how can we approach and solve them in interconnected ways? Nonprofit, philanthropic and public institutions can all step up in this moment to build audacious and equitable solutions to the housing crisis.

Join us for a focused and interactive discussion on cutting-edge ways of understanding and taking action. We invite funders, policymakers, and advocates to explore the topic with us and create connections across sectors as we all work to build loving communities.
