In 2017, we launched Housing the Bay, a ULI SF member-driven initiative to foster innovative solutions to the Bay Area housing crisis in the realms of financing, building costs, policy, and the public process.

Through ongoing events, workshops, dialogue, and research, we are working together with our members and partners to break down barriers and take steps toward finding lasting housing solutions for the Bay Area.

To date, we have held two full-day Housing the Bay Summits, where speakers from around North America brought innovative solutions and big ideas to the table and engaged in conversations on lessons learned and successful case studies with local Bay Area leaders.

See the May 2019 Housing the Bay Summit agenda and list of speakers here.

Our members and partners have also co-created nearly two dozen events, tours, and workshops in the lead up to these summits, to explore solutions and create new paths forward.

See descriptions of our lead-up events here.

Join us in moving forward with this important initiative and the proposals for action to ensure that more people in the Bay Area have homes they can afford and we can maintain the quality of life that our region is known for. Our next Summit will be held in Spring 2020 – stay tuned to our website for more details!
