Join the Stephen S. Smith Center at Xavier University for a timely conversation on the affordable housing crisis and its implications for Cincinnati and beyond. This public event will bring together alumni, educators, community leaders, policymakers, and students to explore one of the most pressing civic and economic issues facing our region: how rising housing costs, zoning decisions, and public policy shape where and how people can live.

The free program will include a continental breakfast and networking, remarks from Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval on affordable housing in the city, a panel on Cincinnati housing, zoning, and the Green Cincinnati Plan, and a luncheon address by Professor Bryan Caplan, author of Build, Baby, Build on the broader affordable housing crisis in the United States.
