Struggling to find an affordable home? Free event will spotlight local housing crunch
Are you — or your employees — struggling to find an affordable home?
You’re not alone. A recent Miami Herald report detailed South Florida’s workforce housing crunch and its toll on the economy.
What can be done? That’s the topic of a free Miami Herald community event, hosted by the Miami-Dade Beacon Council at the council’s downtown Miami offices. (Note the change from previous announcements.)
Join the discussion as experts from private enterprise, not-for-profit groups and government discuss measures under way and under consideration.
Slated speakers include Carlos Fernandez-Guzman, president and CEO of Pacific National Bank and co-chair of a housing solutions task force at the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce; Andrew Frey, founder and principal, Tecela real-estate development; Stuart Kennedy, director of program strategy and innovation, The Miami Foundation; Albert Milo, senior vice president, Related Urban Development; Jason Smith, legislative director for Miami-Dade Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava; and Ned Murray, co-director, FIU Metropolitan Center.
