Upcoming Event: Housing Resilience
November 1st | 6:30-8:30pm | CCA Nave Alcove
1111 8th St., San Francisco | Free and Open to the Public
We’ll explore driving forces behind the Bay Area’s acute housing crisis, the potential impacts of climate change on housing, and opportunities to address overlapping risks of sea level rise and gentrification.
Panelists: Laura Foote Clark, Executive Director, YIMBY Action; Carol Galante, I. Donald Terner Distinguished Professor of Affordable Housing and Urban Policy, UC Berkeley; Tomiquia Moss, Executive Director, Hamilton Families; Geeta Rao, Senior Program Director, Enterprise Community Partners. With Neeraj Bhatia, moderator, California College of the Arts and The Open Workshop.
Our Design Teams have been immersed in their research and tours of challenges and vulnerabilities around the Bay as well as learning about innovative existing models, such as the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project (pictured here).
Design Opportunities
On November 15th, the Design Teams will present their 3-5 Design Opportunities—the ideas the Teams have come up with based on their research and input from stakeholders around the Bay. These ideas will be a starting place for collaborative design throughout the winter and spring. The presentations will be live-streamed on our Facebook page. Please join us at a reception in the evening where you will be able to review the Design Teams’ ideas and ask Teams questions as well as provide written comments.

We Want Your Input
Following these public presentations, we will hold a 2-week online public comment period. This is a crucial point in this Challenge, as our Research Advisory Committee will utilize the public feedback to assist in matching each Design Team with one Design Opportunity for further development. We encourage you to review and comment on the Design Opportunities via Neighborland and ask your networks to participate. More details coming soon!
