New Hampshire, like many states nationwide, has grappled with an affordable housing crisis for years. During the 2024 elections, the housing shortage took center stage on national, state, and local platforms. Now, with the elections behind us, we stand at a pivotal moment for transformative action: newly elected leaders occupy key state and local positions, public and business support for expanded housing has reached record levels, and there is broad bipartisan recognition of the urgent need for real solutions. New Hampshire is poised for change.

Join New Hampshire’s newly elected leaders at the 7th Annual Housing We Need Roundtable Forum, hosted by the Center for Ethics in Society at Saint Anselm College. Together, we’ll hear stories of the housing crisis, explore fresh opportunities, prioritize solutions for 2025, and celebrate the recipients of the Home Matters Leadership Awards. Attendees will include state and local leaders, planners, developers, policy-makers, advocates, homeless service providers, housing financiers, property managers, real estate experts, business leaders, and more.

Lunch is provided.
