Special session of Dismantling White Supremacy – Apr 25 @ 7:15 pm
Local Housing Crisis
Tuesday April 25, 7:15 to 8:45
Guest speakers: Sheryl Klein of Alta Housing and Amie Ashton of Palo Alto Forward
This presentation will discuss how our local and regional history and current economic conditions have contributed to our lack of housing options, especially with regard to affordable housing. We will take a deep dive into the housing crisis and talk about its context, causes, impacts on the most vulnerable people and the environment, and (importantly) actions we can all take to change things for the better.
Sheryl Klein is Alta Housing’s COO. Prior to her current position, she spent five years on Alta’s Board of Directors. During her time as Board Chair, she led Alta Housing’s Wilton Court project through entitlements, development and funding. At Alta, she is responsible for strategic initiatives and planning.
Amie Ashton is Palo Alto Forward’s Executive Director. She has an extensive background in housing having worked for project civil engineers, developers, and environmental consultants, as well as several Bay Area cities.
