Housing Summit
Our Chelan Douglas Regional Housing Solutions Group began meeting in 2017. This group meets monthly to address issues and identify solutions to ensure adequate housing supply for our community. Our Annual Housing Summit is a forum to elevate ideas, spark change, and educate the community.
This group includes Community Development directors, County Leads, lenders, builders, architects, real estate agents and non-profits. If you are interested in attending a meeting, please contact our staff lead Maggie Richter.
