This virtual roundtable will feature a panel of affordable housing and resilience practitioners at the state, local, and federal levels, and a fireside chat with Pat Forbes, Executive Director of the Louisiana Office of Community Development, and Roy Wright, President & CEO of the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS).

Guided by the latest building science research, we’ve seen progress in the single-family and commercial sectors, building homes and commercial facilities to perform better against severe weather events, including high winds, hail, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Yet, there is a tremendous and immediate need to grow that footprint, while also bringing resilience to the millions of Americans living in multifamily housing.

Join us as developers, investors, and government officials in the affordable housing community discuss why resilience to severe weather must be a part of affordable housing, and the tools available for financing this important work.
