About this event
Can Social Housing Help Fix the California Housing Crisis?
Date: Monday, April 14, 2025 at Noon
Where: Online via Zoom | Registration required
Interest in social housing as one way to address housing affordability is growing rapidly in the US. At this “Lunch with the League” webinar, Helmi Hisserich, Director of the Portland Oregon Housing Bureau, will discuss her research on the social housing model adopted in Vienna, Austria and how that model could be implemented in the US.
Vienna, Austria is widely recognized as one of the world’s most livable cities, in large part because their Social Housing system ensures housing is affordable for all. Unlike the US housing model which treats housing as a commodity, Vienna’s housing system is considered a human right, and the public sector plays an important role in ensuring moderately priced housing is continuously developed to meet the needs of its growing population.
Ms. Hisserich has more than 25 years’ experience leading public affordable housing development in Los Angeles and Portland, OR. This presentation will take a close look at the main elements of Vienna’s Social Housing system and focus on the aspects of Vienna’s Social Housing that are most replicable in the U.S.
This webinar is part of a series of programs looking at the lack of affordable housing in our county. This Zoom event is free to the public, but registration is required.
