As if developing housing for the entire spectrum of residents and workers wasn’t hard enough prior to the pandemic, COVID has intensified the need for housing across the United States and Canada. This bi-national panel of developers shared the harsh realities they are facing and how they are working toward innovative housing solutions to develop and preserve affordable, mixed-income and supportive housing in their communities. Susan Connelly, Housing Opportunities Unlimited (Boston) moderated this WDC Developer Forum panel and featured developers Hadley Nelles, New Commons Development (Toronto), Dana Trujillo, Excelerate Housing Group (Los Angeles), and Kim McKay, BRIDGE Housing (Irvine).
