Councilmember Trachtenberg attended this afternoon’s Affordable Housing Conference of Montgomery County’s 6th Annual Public/Private Sector Roundtable: “Facing the Future: Changing Assumptions about Housing”, which took place at the Rockville Library.
There were two panel discussions: Panel I – Who Are We? Demographic Preconceptions vs. Reality and Panel II – Creating a New and Improved Housing Future
The discussions addressed the changing demographic makeup of Montgomery County as more minorities move into the area for job opportunities and baby boomers become senior citizens and decide to age in place, as well as the current economic realities impacting this critical area of need.
The purpose of today’s discussion was to help us rethink the way we think about affordable housing needs for all Montgomery County residents and to work together to understand and act upon the information presented to create a new and improved affordable housing future for us all.
Naomi Bloch of Councilmember Trachtenberg's staff also attended the Roundtable.
