About
New federal funding for infrastructure creates the potential to invest in climate- and energy-smart construction that meets our housing demand, boosts our forest-based economy, and protects our climate – all at the same time!
Join us for a special conversation at the intersection of climate, forests, and housing focused on building sustainable, affordable, equitable housing using regionally-sourced climate-smart wood products and cutting-edge clean energy technology.
Goals
- Offer perspectives on the housing crisis
- Discuss how to build housing with climate-smart forest products
- Explore funding and policy opportunities on housing, forests, and climate
