Inclusive and equitable communities are eroding quickly in the Bay Area, with evictions commonplace and many low to mid-income residents now forced to commute up to 70 miles to work or school. With the current median one-bedroom apartment rental at $3,500/month, the Bay Area is now the most expensive housing market in the nation. Housing supply has not kept up with growth in population, and does not match the income levels of teachers, service workers, and the multiplicity of low to middle-income jobs that are the backbone of any thriving community. The implications for people of color, immigrants, and increasingly—middle-class families—are all too clear. Join us for a funder-only breakfast discussion about impact investing to create resilient cities and enhance opportunity for all. Author and real-estate development, planning, and investment expert Jonathan F.P. Rose will discuss findings from his new book, The Well Tempered City: What Modern Science, Ancient Civilizations and Human Behavior Teach us About the Future of Urban Life. Following a Q&A session with Mr. Rose, participants will join in an interactive discussion with special guest Kyle Rawlins, Co-founder at Designing Justice + Designing Spaces and Fellow at Echoing Green. Mr. Rawlins brings a unique approach to architecture and real estate development by engaging communities and restorative justice practices in the design and development of the built environment. The group will then zero in on the strategies philanthropists and impact investors can use to support the development of affordable housing in the Bay Area. Participants will be encouraged to share, when possible, how their institutions approach these issues. SPEAKERS TO INCLUDE:
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE? Participation in this event is open to grant-makers and donors only, and is not open to grant-seeking organizations, investment firms seeking to fundraise or students.
