Developing student and workforce housing requires a strategic approach to planning, financing, and stakeholder engagement. This session will provide owners, developers, policymakers, and housing professionals with key insights on creating sustainable, affordable, and high-quality living environments that serve both students and working professionals within a single development.
Panelists will explore market demand and demographic trends, the importance of master project planning, and strategies for structuring procurement processes to attract private sector partners.
The discussion will also cover different delivery models, including the potential need to separately fund student and workforce housing components, and best practices for engaging key stakeholders—from project owners and students to faculty and the surrounding community.
