Please join us for a lively panel discussion October 13 to find out "Who needs affordable housing?" The answer may surprise you.

Panelists will explore the state of the housing market in the District and the region, dispel myths about housing, discuss how well-designed affordable housing contributes to an entire neighborhood, and figure out what exactly "affordable" means.

Our panelists are:
Polly Donaldson, director, D.C. Department of Housing and Community Development
Fernando Lemos, executive director, Mi Casa
Dave Stembel, director of housing and urban design at Grimm+Parker Architects
Ed Lazere, executive director of DC Fiscal Policy Institute

Andy Shallal, owner of Busboys and Poets and 2014 D.C. mayoral candidate, will moderate the discussion.

The event, which is sponsored by Enterprise Community Partners, is free and open to the public. Please join us October 13.
