About this Event
The Housing Summit Los Angeles 2026: Disaster Recovery Without Displacement breakfast roundtable is a high-trust, solutions-driven morning convening for leaders who are actively shaping how Los Angeles rebuilds. Hosted at the Beverly Wilshire, this is not a traditional conference. It is a curated working room built to produce practical alignment across policy, capital, and delivery, with one clear outcome: accelerate recovery while keeping residents rooted in their communities.
If you attend, expect a tightly facilitated session with senior decision-makers and doers across city and civic leadership, housing developers and operators, lenders and CDFIs, philanthropy, legal and policy experts, insurance and risk stakeholders, and community-based delivery partners. You will not spend the morning listening to broad commentary. You will leave with actionable strategies, a clearer view of what is feasible now, and impactful connections with Los Angeles changemakers who can help move projects and initiatives forward.
The program includes guided discussion, targeted roundtable work, and a focused pipeline exchange where participants may bring a live project, site, or initiative and receive real-time input, strategic introductions, and collaboration pathways. Outcomes and commitments will be captured in a concise “Recovery Without Displacement” playbook to support continued follow-through after the event.
For sponsors, this summit offers meaningful alignment with a topic that is both urgent and reputationally important. Sponsorship supports a results-oriented convening and positions your organization in a room where decisions, partnerships, and implementation pathways take shape, with opportunities for credible visibility, stakeholder access, and ongoing engagement tied to post-event outcomes.
Full breakfast provided. Seating is intentionally limited. Sponsorship inquiries are available by request at: [email protected]
