Gimme Shelter: How We’ll Live

While struggling American families face the stresses of housing insecurity, 70 million refugees around the world are on the move and in need of shelter.

Housing experts are responding to these evolving needs — creative architects are reengineering living spaces, whether temporary, smart, or tiny. Public, private, and non-profit partners are working together to develop solutions to the affordable housing crisis. In this track, we’ll reconsider how “home is where the heart is” as we adapt to changing realities and consider what matters most for the roof over our head.
