Forum Speaker Series: "The State & Local Government’s Roles in Building Housing Stock in Oregon"

Join us for the first Forum Speaker Series Luncheon of the 2025-2026 season on Monday, September 8, when we will discuss the Willamette Valley's housing market, our region's need for increased housing production, and the local and state policies that can help our community reach its housing production goals.

Leading the conversation will be featured guest speaker Michael Andersen, the Director of Cities and Towns with the Sightline Institute. Since 2006, he has been writing about how better municipal policy can help break poverty cycles, with a focus on housing and transportation.
