11:00am Walking the Tightrope: Development without Displacement

As the economy continues to grow throughout the Bay Area, extreme pressure has been put on the housing market. At first glance, it seems like a solution to build more housing at all income levels is the right one. But how can we do this while also preventing displacement? By looking at the history of development, and segregation, in the Bay Area this panel will begin to explore how different cities are working to retain economic and racial diversity by thinking more about where they should build and for whom.

Speakers:
Calvin Gladney, President and CEO, Smart Growth America (Moderator)
Gloria Bruce, Executive Director, East Bay Housing Organizations (EBHO)
Karen Chapple, Professor of City and Regional Planning, UC Berkeley, Urban Displacement Project

11:55am Keynote: Tyrone Poole, Founder and President, OneApp

Many families that are qualified for subsidized houses go homeless every year because they are unable to locate housing they qualify for. How can technology help these renters find housing that matches their needs? Tyrone Poole of OneApp talks about what can happen to a rental market in a city when renters are empowered with information about their options.
