There’s a lot happening at Pattern this fall, and we hope you’ll be part of it!

We have two exciting events coming up that offer very different experiences, but share something important: bringing people together who care about the future of the Hudson Valley.

🏠 October 27 | 2026 Housing Conference

We all know housing is one of the biggest challenges facing our communities. But what can we actually do about it? Join us, along with Chuck Marohn and Wade Beltramo, as we move beyond talking about the challenges and focus on practical ideas and solutions.

We're changing things up this year! Expect an evening that's a little less formal, a lot more interactive, and full of opportunities to connect with people from across the region. We'll also celebrate this year's Progress in Action Award honorees and the work they're doing to move the Hudson Valley forward.

📺 Less than 30 DAYS UNTIL PATTERN LIVE!

We’re officially counting down to Pattern Live: The Hudson Valley Unscripted on November 4 at The Grandview.

This year, we’re changing things up. We’ll ask the questions, put the Hudson Valley on the screen, and then give the room a chance to weigh in.

We’ll talk about our region, hear directly from the people in the room, celebrate our Hudson Valley Action Award recipients, and have some fun along the way.

And most importantly, the evening supports the research, conversations, and regional work Pattern carries out throughout the year.

Please share this update with Hudson Valley neighbors who receive unemployment benefits or may need to file a claim.

New York State is upgrading its unemployment insurance system starting Monday, November 2, at 5 p.m. The work is expected to take 9 to 12 days. During that time, unemployment insurance services will be unavailable online and by phone, and payments will be delayed. Career Centers will still offer virtual job search help by appointment.

When households are already managing high housing and living costs, a delay in income matters. Pattern is sharing this notice so people and community organizations can prepare and help get the word out.

Find the latest information from the Department of Labor here:

During the upgrade, all online and phone services for unemployment insurance will be unavailable, and unemployment payments will be delayed.

Pattern is proud to honor Westchester County’s Housing Flex Fund with a 2026 Hudson Valley Action Award at Pattern Live.

The fund offers an innovative and practical way to help close financing gaps and move much-needed affordable housing projects forward. It is exactly the kind of solution-oriented regional leadership that Pattern is proud to recognize.

Join us for an evening celebrating the people and initiatives making a meaningful difference across the Hudson Valley while supporting Pattern’s research, conversations, and regional work.

Housing is one of the defining challenges and opportunities facing the Hudson Valley.

Our President & CEO, Alexandra Obremski, recently joined News 12 to discuss the role of housing developments like Tuxedo Reserve in addressing the region's housing shortage. As highlighted in the interview, while affordability remains a critical concern, increasing the overall housing supply is an essential part of creating healthier, more competitive communities.

At Pattern for Progress, we believe that thoughtful, data-driven conversations are essential as communities grapple with growth, economic competitiveness, infrastructure, and quality of life. There are no simple solutions, but there is a clear need for objective research and regional collaboration.

We're grateful to News 12 for shining a spotlight on this important conversation and helping elevate the dialogue around one of the Hudson Valley's most pressing issues. 📺:

News 12 got an exclusive look inside Tuxedo Reserve, where developers say thousands of people will eventually live as residents weigh the project’s impact on traffic, businesses and the future of the community.
