Feb 2, 2017
Scheduled for March 3 at the UC Irvine School of Law, the one-day event will explore the legal challenges facing housing strategies, including lessons from other states and the status of recently adopted and potential state legislation to come. The symposium is co-sponsored by the Municipal Law Institute of the League of California Cities®.

California’s housing crisis continues to worsen as more than 30 percent of homeowners and nearly half of all renters spend more than one-third of their household income on housing. Populations critical to thriving cities — teachers, service workers and first responders — are at the forefront of the struggle and the state’s rate of homelessness remains higher than the national average.

  • Celeste Stahl Brady, Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth;
