Building a More Resilient Housing System

In February 2017, the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), and CSH partnered to host a conversation about the state of housing in Houston and Harris County. That event spun out many ideas and possible actions geared towards improving the region’s approach to housing and making a system that could serve every resident. In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, the convening partners saw a need to continue that conversation. On March 27, 2018, we organized a conversation titled “Building a More Resilient Housing System.” The event, which was sponsored by JPMorgan Chase & Co., brought more than 200 people together to discuss how the region’s housing system connects to post-disaster recovery and long-term resilience efforts.
