About the event
What will it take to make homeownership attainable again?
For many working professionals and families, the dream of homeownership feels increasingly out of reach. Rising housing costs, limited inventory, and evolving financing requirements have created significant challenges for first-time buyers across Orange County and beyond.
Join OC Forum for a solutions-focused conversation exploring innovative pathways to homeownership for the "missing middle" workforce. This discussion will bring together leaders from housing finance, homebuilding, and local government to examine how the public and private sectors can work together to expand access to homeownership opportunities.
Our panel will discuss emerging homebuyer assistance programs, workforce housing strategies, development trends, and practical solutions that can help more residents achieve the goal of homeownership in today's market.
Featured Panel:
Richard Douglass, President, Southern California Division, Trumark Homes
