Developing Sustainable,
Affordable housing in
California’s Communities

January 28, 2021 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM

JOIN US FOR AN INFORMATIVE AND INTERACTIVE EVENT TO LEARN ABOUT HOW TO GET INVOLVED IN CREATING SUSTAINABLE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

Participate in a discussion on the challenges and opportunities in developing new clean energy and sustainable housing projects. The event kicks off with a diverse panel of experts. Attendees will then join conversations in small groups about what is happening in your region of the state. Since diverse participants bring different skills and knowledge to the table, this is an opportunity to listen, learn, and cross-educate. Round out the event with one-on-one networking with other attendees.

Our goal is to help community leaders, developers, and clean energy technology creators meet and learn from each other, starting conversations that can lead to collaboration opportunities. Discussions will explore cutting-edge energy technologies, construction practices, and meaningful community engagement that can support the advancement of sustainable housing that is affordable, equitable, emissions-free and resilient to climate change impacts and extreme weather events. This event is sponsored by the California Energy Commission.
