The Student & Workforce Housing Development Conference provides a roadmap for educational institutions to tackle the pressing challenges of housing affordability, and availability for students, faculty, and staff across both K-12 and higher education.

Over two days, education administrators, campus planners, housing developers, and industry professionals will convene to explore innovative housing strategies, financing solutions, and successful development models to create affordable housing solutions for educational communities.

Together, we’ll identify actionable solutions to help campuses expand housing access, strengthen recruitment and retention, and enhance the long-term value of their institutions and communities.
