2026 Speaker Series: Economics of Housing & Health

Join us for a panel discussion on “Economics of Housing & Health” on Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at Cokesbury United Methodist Church.
National statistics show that when an area experiences issues with housing affordability, workforce health is impacted. Whether it drives chronic financial or psychological stress, forces compromise on the most basic needs, or limits access to medical care when individuals must choose between routine healthcare costs and housing, the result is a less healthy workforce. Join us as we discuss how the higher costs of housing may be contributing to health issues in our community, as it relates to our workforce, and how East TN compares to other national statistics.
