Behind every successful affordable or workforce housing project are the people who make it happen. Yet across California, the sector faces an urgent challenge: attracting, developing, and retaining the next generation of talent.
This session offers a candid, data-driven look at the state of the housing workforce. Who’s hiring, which roles are in highest demand, and how compensation and culture are evolving amid increasing competition from the private market. Attendees will gain insights into emerging trends in recruitment, retention, and professional development, along with strategies to build more diverse, resilient teams.
Join this lunch session to explore how organizations can adapt to a shifting labor market, strengthen internal capacity, and ensure that California’s ambitious housing goals are met by a strong and sustainable talent pipeline.
