Join the National Association of Counties (NACo) for a webinar “Building for Success: How Counties Can Leverage Federal Funds For Workforce Housing,” on June 23, 3–4 PM EST.
Alongside the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. is facing another crisis: a shortage of affordable and workforce housing. Housing is the backbone of economic development, necessary to attract workers and build a flourishing community. The recent influx of federal dollars provides counties with a new opportunity to tackle this crisis head on and invest in the homes workers need to thrive. Learn new strategies and ideas from fellow county leaders and top research organizations that can help you support your county’s workforce through housing.
