Save the date: December 5th

Hello,

Mark your calendars! As the Founder of RaleighForward, I’m excited to announce a joint programming opportunity with WakeUp Wake County.  Our organizations have been staunch supporters of policies designed to diversify Raleigh’s housing stock. We believe that anyone who works in Raleigh should also be able to live in Raleigh.  Because of our mission alignment, RaleighForward is partnering with WakeUp this year to present: Raising the Roof | Creating Housing Choices for Wake County. Our keynote speaker is Vicki Been who is Faculty Director of New York University’s Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy and former Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Development of the City of New York. Professor Been will speak about how our community can learn from other cities and regions to create more diverse and affordable housing options.

Please join us on Thursday, December 5, 2024, from 5:30 – 7:30 at Artspace in downtown Raleigh.

I would be delighted to talk with you about sponsoring the reception, as well as our education and advocacy plans for 2025. Feel free to call me at 919.306.4455 or email me at eric@raleighforward.org.
