    The state of the Capital Region’s housing

    When: Monday, May 20, 2019, 3:30 — 5:00 p.m.

    Where: The Brookings Institution, Falk Auditorium, 1775 Massachusetts Ave, NW, Washington, DC

    What: 

    Across the Capital Region, housing affordability is a growing concern. Between 2010 and 2017, the region added almost twice as many people as housing units. This dwindling housing supply relative to population is a substantial concern for the economic vitality of the region. Where will the Capital Region’s growing population live? How can policy yield housing that is affordable to people of all incomes?

    On May 20, the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program and George Washington University’s Center for Washington Area Studies (CWAS) will co-host an event to discuss housing growth and affordability in the Capital Region. The event will start with the presentation of a new report by CWAS Director Leah Brooks. An expert panel will discuss what local governments, developers, and affordable housing advocates can do to make sure the region meets the housing needs of all its residents.

    Following the panel discussion, speakers will take questions from the audience.

    This event has reached capacity and registration is now closed.
