SUMMARY:According to Plan: The history of zoning and the future of Washington communities
DESCRIPTION:Register for free ticketsNEW VENUE! We’ve moved to the Bainbridge Island Rowing Center. \nOne hundred years ago\, with Village of Euclid vs. Ambler Realty Co.\, the Supreme Court established the constitutionality of zoning. From there\, this relatively new practice took off\, separating factories from houses\, setting building heights and lot sizes\, and in its ugliest application\, serving as de facto redlining. \nToday\, this hyperlocal process is interacting with state mandates to accommodate regional growth\, spawning debate over control\, inclusion\, and sustainability. To assess how land use policy can advance its goals\, Washington compiled code from 320 jurisdictions into the Washington State Zoning Atlas. Co-creator Tamara Laninga will share findings from the atlas\, walk us through the fascinating history of zoning\, and reveal the land use policy that lies beneath our most livable communities. \nDr. Tamara Laninga\, AICP\, is a professor at Western Washington University and the program director for the nationally accredited Urban Planning and Sustainable Development Program. She researches and teaches land use regulations\, planning history\, and community development and has nearly two decades of experience facilitating community-student partnerships. Over the years\, community-based projects have included planning for future growth\, flood resilience\, and zoning code and comprehensive plan revisions to align with Washington’s Growth Management Act.

SUMMARY:The Progress & Poverty Paradox: Two economists on why America works best with equal rights to land
DESCRIPTION:Register for free tickets\n\n\nWhy is there such poverty amid such wealth? Inequitable land ownership and ineffective taxation\, according to American economist Henry George (1839-1897). His solution? A tax that would capture rising land value and use it for public benefit. As we find ourselves in another Gilded Age\, perhaps it’s time to look to land and Georgism for answers to our housing crisis and rising inequality. \n\n\nThis talk is for policy wonks\, armchair philosophers\, community activists\, and anyone curious about the power of land to solve our most urgent problems. Economist Stephen Hoskins will examine George’s potent antidote to land speculation and the concentration of wealth\, its successful application in places as diverse as Pennsylvania and Singapore\, and what it could mean for Bainbridge Island. \n\nStephen Hoskins is an urban economist with international experience in housing\, transportation\, and environmental policy. He has consulted on municipal policy in his home country of New Zealand\, researched retirement economics in Singapore\, and earned a master’s in spatial economics from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\, before moving to Bainbridge Island. For the past 15 years\, Stephen has been driven by a single question: why is housing affordability so broken\, what social harms result\, and how can we fix it? That focus has led him to housing advocacy\, a deep interest in the ideas of Henry George\, and his current work with the Progress & Poverty Institute\, where he advises local governments on how Georgist ideas can guide housing and tax policies that support inclusive\, affordable\, and thriving communities. \nHenry George (1839-1897) was an American economist\, social critic\, and author of Progress and Poverty\, at one time the second-best selling book in America after the Bible.

SUMMARY:Arc of Justice: The power of community-owned land from the Civil Rights Era to today
DESCRIPTION:Register for free ticketsThe first community land trust was born in Albany\, GA\, during the Civil Rights Movement to provide economic security to tenant farmers and sharecroppers who were being forced off the land when they registered to vote. At 6\,000 acres\, New Communities\, Inc. was the largest tract of land in the US owned by Black Americans at the time. \nOver a half-century later\, Aya Community Land Trust is coming to life on the site of an abandoned Rite Aid in Hilltop\, Tacoma\, where gentrification is driving out residents with ties to the historically Black neighborhood. Learn about the origins of this community development model in the short film Arc of Justice and hear how Hilltop residents are working to create affordable housing in a demonstration of community power and cultural conservation. \nThis event is offered in partnership with the Bainbridge branch of the Kitsap Regional Library and the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. \nPanelists: \nKathleen Hosfeld is the CEO and executive director of Homestead Community Land Trust\, where she leads bold initiatives to expand permanently affordable homeownership and community-led development across the Puget Sound region. Since joining Homestead in 2014\, Kathleen has led the organization through a period of significant growth—boosting the number of homes in trust by 30% and establishing a development pipeline of more than 250 new homes. Kathleen’s leadership is grounded in the belief that housing justice must be rooted in place\, culture\, and community power. She has championed Homestead’s approach to community place-making\, forging deep partnerships with residents in historically Black and working-class neighborhoods\, including Tacoma’s Hilltop. There\, she helped facilitate the creation of Aya Community Land Trust—a community-rooted organization stewarding land and advancing generational wealth through permanently affordable homeownership\, cultural space\, and community-driven planning. \nHer work targets neighborhoods under pressure from gentrification\, with a focus on equitable development that centers the voices and vision of those most impacted. She has led Homestead’s development of two “deep green” affordable housing projects that model climate-resilient and sustainable living for future replication. Kathleen chairs the Housing Development Consortium’s Homeownership Affinity Group and has held officer roles on the board of the Northwest Community Land Trust Coalition. \nJeff “JD” Dade serves as Homestead Community Land Trust’s director of community partnerships for Pierce County\, where he leads on-the-ground engagement and implementation of community-driven housing and land justice initiatives. JD joined Homestead to help catalyze the formation of Aya Community Land Trust—a powerful new vehicle for resident-led ownership and place-making in Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood. His work builds on generations of organizing and cultural resilience in Hilltop and channels those values into land stewardship and permanently affordable homeownership. \nA lifelong advocate for economic equity\, JD brings decades of experience in community economic development\, nonprofit leadership\, and the banking sector\, with deep knowledge of commercial lending\, mortgage systems\, wealth management\, and workforce development. He is an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC®) and holds multiple degrees from the University of Washington\, including a master’s in community planning. Raised in a military family and rooted in the values of service and accountability\, JD is a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity\, Inc. and is widely respected for his unwavering commitment to land-based justice and cultural preservation in Black and brown communities across Pierce and King Counties. Whether through real estate strategy\, financial education\, or frontline partnerships\, JD’s work ensures that communities of color not only remain in place—but thrive with dignity\, legacy\, and power.

SUMMARY:Private Developers / Public Interest: Three women tackle affordable housing
DESCRIPTION:watch a recording\nPasscode: *33KwSa? \nThe Bainbridge Public Library\, the venue for the In Residence speaker series\, closed due to inclement weather. This event was held as a webinar instead. Use the link above to watch the recording.  \nThe need for affordable housing is too great for nonprofits and cities to address on their own\, calling for private developers to help meet the demand. But the exorbitant cost of land and construction make it all but impossible for any developer to produce affordable housing using conventional means alone. \n\n\n\nMeet three developers who are breaking through this impasse by leveraging modular and mass timber construction\, combining private equity and public resources\, and redefining the very concept of a housing unit. Anna Mackay\, Jessy Ledesma\, and Leah Martin will share innovative and replicable models for affordable and middle-income housing\, their successes and challenges\, and a calculation of return on investment that considers not just financial gain\, but social impact. \n\nPanelists: \nLeah Martin is the co-founder of Allied8\, an architecture\, development\, and advocacy firm in Seattle. She has practiced in Seattle for 30 years and is an active housing policy advocate\, working to remove barriers in local policies so it’s easier to create community-based affordable housing. Her specific area of focus over the last eight years has been developing new affordable homeownership typologies so that communities and individuals at risk of displacement can create generational wealth while simultaneously ensuring communities stay intact. \nLeah serves on the board of Spark Northwest\, an environmental justice nonprofit that enables a clean energy future for low-income communities. She is a regular design critic at the University of Washington and is a member of the Northwest Eco Building Guild and The American Institute of Architects (AIA). \nAnna Mackay develops real estate under the Sister City shingle. Her (mostly infill) placemaking responds to community need\, whether that means converting a defunct midcentury gas station into a neighborhood food hall or delivering affordable multifamily housing at scale. Anna’s work fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration and good vibes. She imagines a world where more Regular People are supported in their placemaking pursuits. She practices in Portland\, Oregon. \nJessy Ledesma is the founder of HomeWork Development and co-owner of Shortstack Housing\, both based in Portland\, Oregon. Jessy founded HomeWork in early 2021 with a vision to build a new model for missing middle housing development. Prior to HomeWork\, Jessy was director of development at Beam Development and previously developed affordable housing for both for-profit and nonprofit ownership. \nWith 17 years of development experience in the Portland area\, Jessy has transacted $230M in development volume across 20 projects. This includes over 650 affordable housing units and 200\,000 SF of commercial developments. Jessy is adept at creative financial structuring and multi-layered capital stacks\, although she is convinced there is an easier way to finance affordable housing.

SUMMARY:Who Owns America: Revelations on institutional investors and the American dream of homeownership
DESCRIPTION:register for free tickets\nHomeownership is a key indicator of economic and social success for American families. But for decades\, structural inequities in land use policies and housing finance prevented many families from accessing homeownership because of their race\, ethnicity\, or national origin. Today any efforts to redress racial and ethnic homeownership gaps face a new obstacle: ownership of single-family housing is shifting from families to outside investors. Since 2015\, millions of homes were sold by owner-occupants to investors for rental. \nTo address this alarming corporate investment activity\, communities can tip the balance in favor of local residents with technology that reveals these hidden threats across local housing markets. Join Dr. George “Mac” McCarthy to learn about an innovative approach helping communities pull back the curtain on investor activity and tailor interventions with block-by-block precision. Explore proven strategies for preserving affordability\, including community land trusts\, and hear how local policymakers are using data to beat institutional investors at their own game. \n\n\nDr. George “Mac” McCarthy is president and CEO of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in Cambridge\, Massachusetts. A nonprofit private operating foundation\, the Lincoln Institute researches and recommends creative approaches to land as a solution to economic\, social\, and environmental challenges. Mac’s achievements include establishing a partnership with Claremont Lincoln University\, developing state-of-the-art technology that tells parcel-level stories of land use\, and growing the organization’s global presence through its work in Africa\, Asia\, and Europe. Previously\, Mac directed Metropolitan Opportunity at the Ford Foundation\, where he administered a program focused on using homeownership to build assets for low-income communities. \nAbout the Lincoln Institute  \nThe Lincoln Institute of Land Policy seeks to improve quality of life through the effective use\, taxation\, and stewardship of land. A nonprofit private operating foundation whose origins date to 1946\, the Lincoln Institute researches and recommends creative approaches to land as a solution to economic\, social\, and environmental challenges. \nLearn more at www.lincolninst.edu.

SUMMARY:A Legacy of Harm: Racial covenants in Washington State and Kitsap County
DESCRIPTION:Discover the hidden history of segregation in Washington state with the Racial Restrictive Covenants Project. Despite being outlawed\, racist restrictions persist in property records across the state — a toxic residue from an era when local governments actively promoted racial segregation. \nJoin University of Washington researchers in exploring the local impact of housing segregation\, the legacy of these practices on our communities\, the archival research process\, and the Covenants Homeownership Account Act (HB 1474)\, a landmark bill that will provide financial assistance to victims of racial restrictive covenants and their descendants. \nThe Racial Restrictive Covenants Project is powered by research teams at the University of Washington and Eastern Washington University and over 1\,000 volunteers.

SUMMARY:Housing Decommodified: A global exploration with New York Times writer Francesca Mari
DESCRIPTION:“Vienna invites us to envision a world in which homeownership isn’t the only way to secure a certain future — and what our lives might look like as a result\,” writes Francesca Mari. America might have achieved the same had it not made a series of fateful policies in the mid-20th century that privileged homeownership over large-scale federal investments in public housing. Today we find ourselves living in a country where housing is a commodity\, power has been ceded to private investors\, and Americans are struggling. But earlier experiments in limited-profit and social housing show that it might be otherwise. Join us in imagining housing in America done differently. \nFrancesca Mari writes about housing\, con men\, and abuses of power. She is a contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine and an assistant professor of the practice at Brown University teaching narrative nonfiction. She has also written for The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The New York Review of Books\, and others. She was a 2022 National Fellow at New America and a 2023 Radcliffe Fellow.

SUMMARY:Homelessness Is a Housing Problem: A community conversation with Gregg Colburn
DESCRIPTION:Register for Free TicketsIn Homelessness Is a Housing Problem\, Gregg Colburn\, assistant professor of real estate at the University of Washington\, and data scientist Clayton Page Aldern test a range of conventional beliefs about what drives the prevalence of homelessness in a given city—including mental illness\, drug use\, poverty\, weather\, and public assistance—and find that none explain why\, for example\, rates are so much higher in Seattle than in Chicago. Instead\, they discover that housing market conditions\, such as the cost and availability of housing\, offer a more convincing explanation. \nGregg Colburn is an assistant professor of real estate at the University of Washington’s College of Built Environments and co-author of the book\, Homelessness Is a Housing Problem (University of California Press\, 2022). Colburn is a member of the National Alliance to End Homelessness Research Council and is co-faculty lead of the University of Washington’s Homelessness Research Initiative.
