Description

Agenda 8:30 Registration and breakfast 9:00 Event begins 2:45 Reception Across California, people in metropolitan areas are facing an acute housing shortage, driving up rental prices and pushing home ownership further and further out of reach. The California Legislature has taken an active role in increasing housing production and protecting tenants. But, at the same time, to achieve state climate goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, these housing advances must be coupled with transportation approaches that ensure new housing development does not continue to favor car-based mobility. Progress toward connecting housing and transportation priorities requires advancing state, regional, and local approaches. This year’s InterActions LA event will discuss the past and future housing and transportation goals, building on panels from the 2022 UCLA Arrowhead Symposium: California’s Housing Crossroads. Back in person at The California Endowment, InterActions LA will include presentations and discussions covering legislative updates, research, case studies, and organizing approaches. As California continues to invest significant time in advancing housing legislation and large amounts of financial resources in transportation, what are these investments yielding in terms of results, and what still needs to be done? In particular, we will discuss challenges and solutions around the most promising recent legislative efforts at the state, regional, and local levels. What are the limitations of state-led planning on advancing housing and transportation goals? What are harmonious approaches? Note: Scholarship opportunities available to cover the complete costs of registration. The scholarship application is open and accepting applications. We will notify applicants by April 14 at the latest. More information about InterActions 2023 can be found here.
