Overcoming NIMBY Opposition

March 19 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Not In My Backyard Syndrome (NIMBYism), in the context of affordable housing, connotes objections to new housing development made for reasons such as fear and prejudice. Even with the extreme need for more affordable housing, NIMBYism is still all-too common in parts of our state. This training webinar will explore ways the affordable housing ecosystem can dispel NIMBY opposition to affordable housing through tactics to support affordable housing as fundamentally vital community infrastructure. This webinar will feature affordable housing practitioners who have experienced and overcome NIMBYism. This webinar is designed for developers, local elected officials, city and county managers, and city and county attorneys.
