Turning the Corner? Shaping Housing’s Next Chapter

Housing the Bay returns for a ninth year! This spring, we ask: are we Turning the Corner? We invite attendees and speakers to join us on April 15, 2026 and Shape the Next Chapter of Housing in the Bay Area and beyond. This Summit will explore the relationships between technological innovations and construction costs, homeownership and generational wealth, advocacy and legislation, and more.

Over the last nine years, Housing the Bay has explored the root causes of our housing crisis, showcased innovative public and private sector solutions, and amplified diverse voices from across our industry. This year, we continue that mission by understanding the tools our region is using increase housing supply and affordability at all scales.

Join 400+ housing experts, policymakers, developers, designers, and public sector leaders on April 15 for a dynamic half-day summit featuring engaging discussions, inspiring speakers, and tangible takeaways to drive real impact. With a unique mix of public and private-sector experts, this is the housing event where everyone is at the table and shaping the future of housing together. Bring your ideas, energy, and commitment to building the region we need and deserve.

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.
