Keynote Speakers
Building Blocks - Affordable Housing: Stats, Facts and What it Means for You
“The Mike Show”
Featuring Mike Alexander, COO, and Mike Carnathan, Researcher, Atlanta Regional Commission
The lack of access to affordable housing has a host of negative impacts on our community. Housing cost-burdened families experience grater stress relating to food insecurity, health care, employment and overall social stability. The dialogue around affordable housing often centers, as it should, on supply, but this ongoing challenge is one that the nonprofit community should rally around collectively. Hear from industry data experts on the current situation in Augusta and its impact on those we serve.
Purpose Built Communities
Evan Smith & Alex Wiggins
The power of collaboration isn’t new, yet collaboration is essential if we hope to tackle complex issues like housing affordability. The good news is that we have promising examples of ways the social sector can join forces with neighborhood leaders and other leaders from the business and civic sectors to achieve more by working together.
