This conversation, moderated by Samantha Holcomb, will explore models that unlock existing housing inventory, maximize public dollars, and connect fragmented efforts into one coordinated engine. We invite you to learn how public–private partnerships can shift from reactive crisis management to proactive systems design.

Join Housing Connector’s founder and CEO, Shkëlqim Kelmendi, Jamie Rife, and Gregg Colburn for this riveting panel!
