Saving the Economy and Avoiding Housing Crisis in the Wake of COVID-19
Join us for an expert discussion on COVID-19’s devastating impact on the U.S. economy.
Andrew Stettner, senior fellow at The Century Foundation, will discuss Congress’ emergency response to the pandemic, the likely impact of the relief measures, and what actions lawmakers should take next to ensure an inclusive, equitable economic recovery. Joining the conversation will be Katherine O’Regan, professor of public policy and planning at NYU Wagner and a faculty director of NYU's Furman Center, who will discuss the housing side of the recovery and avoiding another housing crisis.
After the discussion, stick around for a Q&A with the experts. Please register to obtain the Zoom link, which will be sent twenty-four hours before the event.
