Excited to share a highlight from last week: I had the honor of moderating a conversation on affordable housing at The Gathering Spot in Atlanta. This event brought was about the pressing realities of housing affordability and to forge a path toward ensuring Atlanta remains accessible to everyone. The panel had an impressive lineup of leaders and experts, including Courtney English, Chief Policy Officer and Senior Advisor to the Mayor; Terri Lee, CEO of Atlanta Housing; and Dr. Eloisa Klementich, CEcD, President and CEO of Invest Atlanta. A special shoutout to our incredible partner, Julius Thomas of The People United, whose collaboration was instrumental in making this event a success. This is just the beginning of more meaningful community conversations aimed at tackling the challenges we face. #AffordableHousing #CommunityEngagement #Atlanta #TheGatheringSpot #UrbanDevelopment
