Yesterday, we had the opportunity to connect with housing leaders and advocates at the 2026 Housing Symposium at NC State University’s Talley Student Center.

During lunch, we shared more about our ongoing housing study and joined conversations around the challenges, opportunities, and ideas shaping the future of housing in our communities.

Presented by NC State College of Design’s School of Architecture, AIA Triangle, and the Pappas Real Estate Development Program, the symposium brought together architects, developers, planners, city officials, and housing advocates for a day of thoughtful discussion, innovative ideas, and meaningful connections.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to learn more about our work and share your perspectives. We’re grateful to be part of the conversation and look forward to continuing it.
