The housing supply challenge is so profound that businesses of all sizes increasingly cite housing unaffordability as a primary barrier to attracting\, retaining\, and developing diverse and productive workforces. In addition\, millions of low- and moderate-income families pay unsustainable rents while millions more can’t afford to buy their first home. \n\n\n\nThere is no single solution to align housing supply with demand.  Alleviating the problem requires a comprehensive\, all-in approach from the private sector\, local\, state and federal governments\, community members and nonprofits.  Our expert presenters and panelists from industry\, government and academia will share share ideas\, best practices\, and innovative yet practical solutions that are working in our communities today. You will take away ideas and strategies to help you\, your organization\, and community to better align housing supply and demand. \n\n\n\n\nView the Agenda Here\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\nJoin Us!\n\n\n\n\nLearn from a range of experts – from the public and private sectors\, from government and business and from academia – who are on the front lines of housing market research\, policy\, and practice.\n\n\n\nExplore these questions and identify programs and solutions. \n\n\n\nJoin us and you’ll have the opportunity to network with a diverse and passionate group of 150+ housing\, banking\, real estate\, government and non-profit professionals to share ideas and best practices. \n\n\n\n\nKeynote Presenters:\n\n\n\n\nSam Khater\, Vice President and Chief Economist\, Freddie Mac\n\n\n\nVincent Reina\, Associate Professor\, University of Pennsylvania\, Former Senior Advisor for Housing and Urban Policy in the White House Domestic Policy Council\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Presenter:\n\n\n\n\nElmer Moore\, CEO\, Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA)\n\n\n\n\nPresenters and Moderators:\n\n\n\n\nAlan Christianson\, Administrator\, City of Ladysmith\n\n\n\nSteve DeCleene\, President\, Neumann Companies\n\n\n\nMarrissa Downs\, Principal\, Mosaic Property Ventures\n\n\n\nDaniel Ertl\, Director of Community Development\, City of Brookfield\n\n\n\nSam Khater\, Vice President and Chief Economist\, Freddie Mac\n\n\n\nAdam Templer\, Vice President of Development\, Bear Development\n\n\n\nElmer Moore\, President\, Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority\n\n\n\nRobert Proctor\, Partner\, Axley Brynelson\, LLP\n\n\n\nDeb Reinbold\, President\, Thrive Economic Development\n\n\n\nJosh Schoemann\, County Executive\, Washington County\n\n\n\nNicole Solheim\, Vice President of Development\, Cinnaire\n\n\n\nChristopher Timmins\, Gary J.
