In this episode, we explore housing subsidies, which are the public investments that make so much housing affordability possible in our community.

Our executive director Eric Burmeister moderates a panel on housing stability recorded live at our Affordable Housing Week Symposium.

Our panelists share how small changes in regulation have big effects on housing costs -- which matters more than ever amid supply chain issues and rising prices in the market today.

We bring you a presentation by author and housing expert Shane Phillips recorded live at our annual housing symposium. Phillips is the author of The Affordable City: Strategies for Putting Housing Within Reach (and Keeping it There).

Each April, the Polk County Housing Trust Fund hosts an Affordable Housing Week Symposium focused on current issues in housing. This year, our keynote speaker was Shane Phillips, author of The Affordable City, Strategies for Putting Housing Within Reach (and Keeping it There). We followed up that conversation with three panels focused on Shane’s “Three S’s” of housing policy, supply, stability and subsidy. Audio from the event and more is coming soon.
