California Housing System Innovators Network
Network Gatherings
A major offering to our network is our in-person invite-only Innovator’s Network Gathering. We host this intimate event in different communities throughout California roughly every year, and they balance opportunities for deep peer learning and sharing, relationship building and open space to brainstorm, play with and project plan around shared big ideas in housing.
The role of the Innovators Network is to:
Together we can build a housing system that’s good for California’s people, communities, and environment.
