Description

Housing: What "Affordable" Really Means

A Community Conversation Presented by Leadership Winston-Salem

Sponsored by: City of Winston-Salem, Forsyth Technical Community College, Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County, Robert Half, and The Resource


Join Leadership Winston-Salem for a candid and informative conversation about the future of housing in Forsyth County. As our community grows, so does the need to better understand what “affordable housing” truly means—and who it serves. This conversation brings together residents, community leaders, and housing experts in a panel discussion to explore the realities, challenges, and opportunities within our local housing landscape.

Together, we’ll dive into key questions shaping the housing conversation today:

  • What is affordable housing—and who is it actually affordable for?
  • Where are the gaps in Forsyth County’s current housing options?
  • What does affordability look like for lower-income families, the workforce community, and middle-class households—and how does that compare to current supply?

Following the panel, we’ll open the floor for an audience Q&A, giving community members the opportunity to share questions, insights, and lived experiences.

Whether you work in housing, are personally affected by rising costs, or simply want to better understand the challenges facing our community, this discussion offers a chance to learn, engage, and contribute to meaningful dialogue about Forsyth County’s housing future.
