Affordable Housing Capacity-Building Workshops for Cities
ASU’s Stardust Center for Affordable Housing and the Family invites you to participate in a free series of workshops on creating and preserving affordable and workforce housing in your city. These capacity-building workshops will be led by the noted Silvia Urrutia of U Developing LLC, former director of Housing and Healthcare Finance at Raza Development Fund and co-founder of the Arizona Housing Alliance, a statewide organization in support of affordable housing.
Ms. Urrutia will lead this high-level, interactive series, which will bring together public and private entities to discuss existing challenges, highlight best practices, encourage innovation, and disseminate vital information to impact your city's affordable housing capacity.
Each workshop will consist of a panel presentation and moderated discussion aimed at building integrated capacity within your city. City teams are encouraged to suggest topic areas.
We encourage cities to send a team to ensure several departments can learn and share experiences. We suggest a representative(s) from:
- Community Development (or Planning Department)
- Housing Department
- Economic Development
- Human Services
- City Manager's Office
