Valley Futures Forum: "Housing the Future" on September 16

Housing the Future: Can our children afford to live in the Valley? with Darryl Rutherford

The Valley’s housing picture is changing constantly.  We’ve gone from “go-go” to “no-go” to “very slow go” in the past five years. Join Darryl Rutherford, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco’s Regional Manager for Community Development for the San Joaquin Valley, as he discusses the Valley’s housing mix today, and what is needed to achieve affordable housing for all as the Valley grows rapidly. How are regional planning efforts moving communities forward and what’s missing from the equation? Bring your ideas about the new housing reality for the San Joaquin Valley.
