Join the Terner Center for Housing Innovation and the Land Economics Society (LAI) for a timely webinar exploring the intersection of Construction Defect Liability and Homeownership. Condominiums—long a vital entry point for more affordable homeownership—have seen a significant decline in development across California, with construction defect liability laws serving as a key barrier. These laws, designed to protect home buyers, have unintentionally discouraged developers from building new condominiums. In this webinar, we will present insights from our new policy brief, a panel presentation and a Q&A from the audience. The session will highlight opportunities for reform and explore the implications of these laws for the future of affordable homeownership.
