Entry-level homeownership is becoming increasingly out of reach in high-cost markets, not only because of rising prices but because the system that supports access is fragmented. Featuring panelists:
Julie Quinn, Chief Impact and Development Officer Housing Trust Silicon Valley
Noerena Limon, CEO, Casita Coalition
Meaghan McCarthy, Vice President, Affordable Housing and Consumer Empowerment, Housing Partnership Network
Louis Mirante, Senior Vice President of Public Policy, Bay Area Council
This conversation brings together leaders across the housing ecosystem to examine how capital, program design, innovation, research, and regional economic forces collectively shape who can access ownership.
The goal is to identify where the system is breaking down, where alignment is possible, and what coordinated strategies are needed to sustain entry-level homeownership.
Entry-level homeownership is not a single product. It is the outcome of an interconnected system of capital, programs, innovation, and regional dynamics working together. When these layers are misaligned, access narrows. When they are coordinated, pathways to ownership expand.
