Thank you to everyone who joined Health Foundation of La Porte and Unity Foundation for two days focused on expanding access to attainable housing in La Porte County.

Between Tuesday’s bus tour and Wednesday’s Attainable Housing Convening, we explored local housing projects, learned from one another, and discussed ways to help people at all income levels find a place to call home.

A healthy housing ecosystem takes serious collaboration, and it was inspiring to see leaders in attendance from across the spectrum, including local government, construction, nonprofits, and beyond. Their diverse perspectives and experiences sparked invaluable discussion about the challenges ahead and the opportunities to make progress together.

There’s more work to be done, and we’re excited to continue building on these conversations. Thank you for being part of it!
