🏙 Affordable Housing Panel
Our very own Executive Director, Wolf Smith, and the other amazing panelists sparked important and necessary conversations about affordable housing at this last week's forum hosted by United Way of Greater St. Louis, and Sheldon Concert Hall and Art Galleries. Conversations like this spark hope and change and we are honored to be a part of them.
Another thank you to these integral panelists: Nahuel Fefer of City of STL Community Development Administration, Cristina Garmendia of URBNRX, and Will Jordan of Metropolitan St Louis Equal Housing and Opportunity Council.
STLMHC Landlord 🏢 Networking Event
We love participating in this bi-annual event, and this year was our first time in person! CRCSTL is a neutral 3rd party as we promote our services to both renters and landlords. This event helps landlords connect with partner agencies to help house low-to-moderate income and second-chance renters. A lot was learned and connections were made! Our special guest speaker Aja Owens from Cori Bush's office opened our event and we received great updates from Dr. Yusef Scoggin from the City of St. Louis Dept. of Human Services. Follow the St. Louis Metro Housing Collective (STLMHC) on Facebook.
