At the 2024 Housing the Bay Summit, we opened the program with a conversation between the Housing Directors of Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose, all of whom had been appointed to their roles within the previous 9-month period. Nearly a year later, we are checking back in with Directors Weinstein, Adams, and Solivan to discuss how they are navigating leadership changes, exploring the challenges they’ve encountered, and celebrating the strides they’ve made within their first year. The conversation will be moderated by Sarah Klearman, staff reporter at the San Francisco Business Times.
