In 2024, Housing the Bay returned for a seventh year and focused on the chance to lean into this unique moment in time and shape a future for the Bay Area with more housing for more people at all income levels. Our theme and 2024’s  content captured just that as we Navigate the Now and Reimagine the Future.

Over the last seven years, Housing the Bay has examined the drivers of our housing crisis, highlighted public and private sector solutions, and elevated the voices of a broad range of people from across our industry and across North America. This year, we will continue to bring you inspiring ideas and new strategies for generating more housing supply and increasing housing affordability, with an emphasis on how we can navigate challenges we are facing along with opportunities we can capitalize on through financing, policy, and design.

In 2017, ULI SF launched Housing the Bay, a multi-year initiative to support the vision of a Bay Area with healthy, sustainable, and affordable housing options for everyone.

Through Housing the Bay we are exploring new solutions to break through housing roadblocks, improve housing affordability, and ensure more people have access to the housing they need. Guided by our members’ expertise in development and finance, policy and governance, community engagement and equity, we are building new possibilities and new solutions – while remaining conscious of the context that has brought us to the present moment. 

The people and communities of the Bay Area are at the center of our work. Safe, healthy, sustainable, and affordable housing for everyone is essential for our region to continue to thrive into the 21st century. We are working to create this reality by advancing a common language and shared understanding, and through collaboration and cooperation with other organizations and institutions committed to this work.

The Housing the Bay initiative is practical and pragmatic, and aspirational and optimistic. We believe there is a role for all of us to play in lending our expertise, insight, and energy to this effort. Join us in making this a Bay Area for everyone.
