April Housing Hangout
Join us for the next Triad Housing Hangout on Wednesday, April 29 (1:00–2:00 PM) at the Forsyth County Central Library, featuring a panel of urban and regional planners regarding changes in land use and UDOs, comprehensive plans, and policies related to increasing density and affordability, while addressing concerns of congestion, changes in historic character of neighborhoods, property values, and pressure on infrastructure.
What to Expect:
- Networking: Connect with a cross-sector mix of planners, developers, service providers, landlords, developers, and advocates.
- Discussion: Participate in an open dialogue about how other communities can learn from this initiative.
- Regional Focus: Open to anyone working in or interested in housing from Guilford, Forsyth, Alamance, Davidson, Davie, Stokes, Randolph, Rockingham, and beyond.
Coffee, water, and light refreshments provided.
Let’s build knowledge, relationships, and new partnerships to address our region’s housing needs together.
Triad Housing Hangout
The Triad Housing Hangout is a practical and solutions-oriented monthly gathering that brings together housing professionals, advocates, developers, local officials, and community partners from across the Piedmont Triad to stay connected, share what’s working, and learn from one another. The series was relaunched to create an ongoing “community conversation” space where local and regional leaders can surface timely housing challenges, highlight promising initiatives, and translate information into action.
Each Hangout features a short, focused presentation or panel often spotlighting a local initiative, policy update, or program opportunity, followed by open discussion and networking. Recent topics have included: Greensboro’s “Road to 10,000” initiative to add new housing units and streamline permitting; emerging developer training and pipeline-building through the Developer Capacity Building Program; and regional programs that support weatherization, repair, rental assistance, and other housing resources across the Triad.
At a glance:
- When: Monthly on the last Wednesday of the month, 1:00–2:00 PM
- Where: Forsyth County Central Library - 660 W 5th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101
- Format: featured panel or presentation, facilitated conversation, networking
- Who should attend: Anyone working on (or impacted by) housing including local government, nonprofit and philanthropic partners, developers/builders, lenders, realtors, service providers, advocates, and residents
The goal is simple: make it easier for the Triad’s housing ecosystem to coordinate, by sharing information quickly, lifting up promising practices, and strengthening the relationships that move housing solutions forward.
