The Rutgers Center for Real Estate will continue its premier conference series hosting a landmark Real Estate Conference: The Mount Laurel Doctrine; Where We Are & What Happens Now? The conference will bring together leaders in policy making, government, law and real estate on both sides of the affordable housing issue to examine the tensions that currently exist between municipalities and developers. Featuring discussions by leading legislators, legal professionals, developers and planners, this is a can’t miss event for anyone interested in the challenges and road ahead for Affordable Housing in New Jersey.
The event will be headlined by keynote speeches delivered by Jonathan F.P. Rose, President and Founder of Jonathan Rose Companies LLC, and author of The Well Tempered City: What Modern Science, Ancient Civilizations and Human Behavior Teach us About the Future of Urban Life, and Thomas Gleason, Executive Director of MassHousing. Rose will discuss the need for each state to assess its affordable housing gap and provide suggested strategies on how to overcome it. As Executive Director of MassHousing, the leading provider of affordable housing financing in Massachusetts and one of the largest housing finance agencies in the country, Gleason will offer insights on Massachusetts’ highly successful affordable housing model and provide suggestions as to how other states can adopt a similar model.
Panel discussions will include a conversation on the challenges presented in providing affordable housing in New Jersey and brainstorming solutions and best practices for municipalities and developers to work together on affordable housing initiatives.
