Building Tomorrow: State of Affordable Housing event a great success.
Real progress starts with real conversations — and San Diego showed up! At HomeAid San Diego’s Building Tomorrow: State of Affordable Housing event, we heard from leaders on the frontlines of housing and homelessness about what’s working, what’s not, and what still needs to change. From rising costs and limited inventory to the growing urgency on our streets, the message was clear: collaboration is key. Thanks to everyone who brought their insight, energy, and commitment to the table.
