Using publicly-owned land is one of the most impactful tools the public sector has to provide and produce affordable housing. The recently-passed Live Local Act recognizes the importance of publicly-owned land, requiring the coordination of local governments and dependent agencies in maximizing this resource. This workshop will explore best practices for identifying and disposing of publicly-owned land for affordable housing, including layering additional resources for heightened impact, promoting permanent or long-term affordability and incorporating supplier diversity.
