Pearls of Wisdom: Turning the Key on Workforce Housing will spotlight the innovative strategies and partnerships driving increased access to workforce-friendly housing across the Tampa Bay area.
As Tampa experiences a surge in development, job creation, and economic vitality, one critical question remains: Can the people powering this growth afford to live here? The answer can be a resounding yes—and through expert insights, real-world case studies, and collaborative dialogue, we’ll explore:
- What’s working: Proven solutions that are expanding housing access across income levels.
- Who’s making it happen: Local developers, employers, and policymakers stepping up to meet the need.
- Why it matters: The direct link between housing, job growth, and business sustainability.
- How you can lead: Strategic ways your organization can support housing solutions for your workforce.
This discussion will emphasize that no matter what industry you’re in — if your team needs to live where they work, this is your moment to help shape the path forward.
Come for the insight, leave with the tools to make a difference.
The Pearls of Wisdom series, along with the Chamber’s other women’s programming opportunities, is developed with assistance from our Women of Influence Committee. Learn more about our Chamber’s women’s programming and the Women of Influence Committee.
