This webinar brings together national research tools and real on-the-ground examples to show how communities are using mapping and data visualization to connect the dots between housing\, equity\, and climate outcomes.\nData can answer specific questions. Sometimes it opens up new ones. Both outcomes are valuable — and this session is designed to help you get more out of both.\nJoin us for 75 minutes of practical insight\, live demonstration\, and honest conversation about what data can (and can’t) do for housing and climate policymakers. \n\n \n\n Featured Speakers\n\n \n CA\n \n Claudia Aiken\n Director of New Research Partnerships\, NYU Furman Center Housing and Solutions Lab Staunton\, VA\n Claudia Aiken is Director of New Research Partnerships at the New York University (NYU) Furman Center and Housing Solutions Lab\, but is a Virginia native.

Yet for most builders — especially small-scale developers and first-time homeowners — that’s exactly the barrier they face. Permit-ready housing programs offer a practical fix: pre-approved building designs that can move directly to construction\, cutting red tape without cutting quality. \n This webinar explores how permit-ready and pattern book programs work\, where they’ve succeeded\, and what it takes to implement them locally. Featuring two practitioners working at the cutting edge of this approach\, the session connects national best practices with a live implementation underway right here in Virginia. \n\n \n\n Featured Speakers\n\n \n MP\n \n Matthew Petty\n CEO\, Pattern Zones Co. Fayetteville\, AR\n A pioneer in pre-approved housing programs\, Matthew has worked with municipalities across the country to build catalogs of permit-ready designs that make diverse housing types faster and cheaper to build. He brings experience from Fayetteville\, Overland Park\, South Bend\, and dozens of other communities across the country. For the Incremental Development Alliance\, he designed the code stress-testing process that kicked off meaningful infill reforms in South Bend\, Kalamazoo\, and Overland Park — all\nthree of which now have pre-approved building programs. \n\n He has delivered housing infill workshops across the country and\nauthored a ground-up curriculum rewrite that has anchored\nthe organization’s programming for nearly a decade.\nIn Fayetteville\, Arkansas\, Matthew was elected four times and\nserved nearly 13 years on the City Council\, where he recruited\na team of champions and authored legislation on accessory\ndwelling units\, pocket neighborhoods\, food trucks\, and traffic\ncalming. Matthew’s planning and design proposals have won grants or\nawards from the National Endowment for the Arts four times\,\nthe Knight Foundation\, the Walton Family Foundation\, the\nCongress for the New Urbanism\, and others. \n \n \n\n \n KB\n \n Kellie Brown\n Neighborhood Development Services Director\, City of Charlottesville\, VA\n Kellie Brown is the Director of the City of Charlottesville Neighborhood Services Department\, overseeing the City’s Housing Division\, Comprehensive and Current planning\, Transportation Planning\, Building Inspections\, Property Maintenance\, Zoning\, and Historic Preservation and Design. She has 20 years of experience as a community development professional and planner in both the public and private sectors. Previously she was a Comprehensive Planning supervisor in the Arlington County Planning Division\, which included leadership for small area plans and Arlington County’s Missing Middle Housing Study.\n\n Kellie is leading Charlottesville’s effort to develop an open-source housing design library in partnership with UVA — three permit-ready housing prototypes designed through community co-design\, paired with the financial and policy tools to help low- and moderate-income residents use them. \n \n \n\n \n\n What You’ll Learn\n\n How permit-ready programs reduce time\, cost\, and uncertainty for builders and homeowners\n Why pre-approved plans make diverse housing types more “convenient” to build — and how that changes what actually gets built\n What a real-world pattern book implementation looks like\, from community engagement to final design library\n How localities across the country have structured these programs — and lessons for Virginia\n How Charlottesville and UVA are building an equity-centered model that other Virginia communities can replicate\n\n \n \n\n Who Should Attend\n \n Local elected officials\n Planners & zoning administrators\n Nonprofit housing developers\n Small-scale builders\n Community advocates\n Housing counselors\n State & local housing staff\n Academics & researchers\n \n\n \n\n \n Supported by\n \n HousingForward Virginia\n Virginia Housing\n Capital One\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPermit-Ready Housing & Zoning ReformResource Packet: https://housingforwardva.github.io/hfv-resources URL:https://housingforwardva.org/event/permit-ready-housing-from-pattern-books-to-policy/ CATEGORIES:Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://housingforwardva.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/HFV-Webinar-1-Promo-2026-1.png LOCATION:https://housingforwardva.org/event/permit-ready-housing-from-pattern-books-to-policy/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251008T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251008T133000 DTSTAMP:20251009T144702Z CREATED:20250827T133358Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251009T144702Z UID:12181-1759924800-1759930200@housingforwardva.org SUMMARY:Beds Over Books: Communities developing affordable housing above public libraries DESCRIPTION:Join us for an innovative webinar exploring a proven strategy that’s transforming communities nationwide\n\n\n\nRound bookshelf in public library\n\n\n\nFrom Chicago to Oregon\, and from Boston to Brooklyn\, communities across America are discovering an elegant solution to two pressing challenges: the affordable housing crisis and the need for modern library infrastructure. Co-locating libraries with affordable housing has been emerging as a smart growth strategy that maximizes public land\, reduces construction costs\, and creates vibrant community anchors. \n\n\n\nThe Dual Infrastructure Crisis: America faces both a housing affordability emergency and aging public facilities. While approximately 17\,000 public libraries need an estimated $32 billion for construction and renovation\, urban communities nationwide continue to struggle with severe housing shortages. High land costs make traditional affordable housing development increasingly difficult\, particularly infill development in walkable\, transit-accessible neighborhoods where families want to live. \n\n\n\nDid you know that the average U.S. public library building is more than 40 years old\, and Congress hasn’t provided dedicated funding for library facilities since 1997? Meanwhile\, despite predictions that libraries would fade in the digital age\, they’re busier than ever—receiving 1.3 billion visits annually and serving as community hubs where residents access everything from job training to social services. \n\n\n\nAs we look for solutions to address our affordable housing challenges\, public libraries offer a match made in heaven. Developing affordable housing above libraries provides residents with direct access to the many benefits of public libraries\, but it also offers library systems an opportunity to address capital improvements that have been lacking funding for decades. Two innovative examples on the East Coast can be found in New York City and Boston.  \n\n\n\nIn Brooklyn\, non-profit community development corporation Fifth Avenue Committee and the Brooklyn Public Library teamed up to replace an outdated but heavily patronized library branch with a new 100% affordable housing building consisting of 50 new multifamily units and a new and expanded public library branch. Sunset Park Apartments and Library completed in 2022 and saw the new library branch open in 2023. It is the first new affordable housing built in the Sunset Park neighborhood in 20 years and resulted in the doubling in size of one of New York City’s most utilized and beloved library branches. \n\n\n\nFifth Avenue Committee’s Sunset Park Apartments & Library\, which was completed in August 2022.\n\n\n\nUp in Boston\, the city began an initiative to explore the co-location of housing with public assets in 2018. Since then\, the city learned several lessons that eventually led to the West End Library project. The City of Boston voted to designate the development team of Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH) and Caste Capital to redevelop the West End branch of the Boston Public Library on Cambridge Street. The redevelopment will include a new two-story branch library and 119 income-restricted units of housing above the library through the Housing with Public Assets initiative. \n\n\n\nWest End Library POAH Caste rendering\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPANELISTS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMICHELLE DE LA UZ\, executive director\, fifth avenue committee\n\n\n\nMichelle de la Uz is a nationally recognized leader in social justice and community development\, with over 25 years of experience in public service.

With continued uncertainty and risk around federal funds\, conversations around the model have only continued. \n\n\n\nThere are plenty of examples popping up across the country that Virginia governments can learn from: \n\n\n\n\nMontgomery County\, Maryland has the Housing Opportunities Commission.\n\n\n\nAtlanta\, Georgia has the Atlanta Urban Development Corporation.\n\n\n\nChattanooga\, Tennessee has Invest Chattanooga.\n\n\n\nChicago\, Illinois has a Green Social Housing Revolving Fund.\n\n\n\nColorado has the Middle Income Housing Authority.\n\n\n\nCambridge\, Massachusetts has the Cambridge Housing Authority.\n\n\n\nIdaho has The Housing Company.\n\n\n\n\nAnd the public development model is increasingly gaining political traction as legislators and advocates push for this model in their communities: \n\n\n\n\nStay Housed San Diego is an effort by San Diego’s Sunrise Movement chapter to advocate for a public enterprise model in the city.\n\n\n\nALOHA Homes is a legislative priority by Hawaii state senator\, Stanley Chang\, to introduce a public development model similar to Singapore’s housing system.\n\n\n\nRhode Island passed a ballot measure in 2024 that included $10 million that “may be used to support a new program for public housing development.”\n\n\n\nThe Social Housing Act has been introduced several times by California state assembly member\, Alex Lee. And is currently making its way through the current California legislative session.\n\n\n\n\nWith so much momentum and interest in the public development model for housing\, we wanted to bring individuals already working on this model for housing to you. On July 24 at 12pm EST\, we welcomed John Majors\, CEO of the Atlanta Urban Development Corporation\, Hanneke van Deursen\, Director of Housing Finance with the City of Chattanooga\, and Matt Stern\, Deputy Commissioner at the City of Chicago’s Department of Housing. This webinar gave you an opportunity to learn how the public development model is being implemented in U.S. cities and to get your questions answered by individuals actually doing the work. \n\n\n\nPanelists\n\n\n\nJohn Majors – Atlanta Urban Development (AUD)\n\n\n\n\nDownload John’s slide deck here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Atlanta Urban Development Corporation (AUD)\, a partnership between Atlanta’s Mayor Andre Dickens Housing Innovation Lab and Atlanta Housing.
