Cornerstone Housing® Forum: Aligning Vision, Measurement, and Action
This inaugural event convened housing experts and community leaders for dynamic conversations, including insights from Senator Mel Martinez (Ret.), former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
It was presented as part of Habitat for Humanity International’s Home is the Key initiative. Together, we explored how stable, affordable housing serves as the cornerstone of community progress and how we can align around measurable, systems-level solutions.
