About this event

  • Event lasts 5 hours

Growth has been happening for a long time in Chelan and Douglas counties, and given the region’s livability and close proximity to the Seattle and Spokane metro areas, more is on the way. The state has determined about 18,000 new homes need to be constructed in Chelan and Douglas counties over the next 20 years in order to catch up with demand, with about half of those homes priced for low- and moderate-income households. One potential solution is generating more “middle housing,” which includes such housing types as duplexes, triplexes, townhouses, cottages, courtyard housing, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

The Summit — “Housing Our Valley: How do we increase density in our neighborhoods respectfully?” — will explore how middle housing can fit into existing neighborhoods and fill a large need in the region. Sessions during the Summit will include:

  • What State Housing Mandates Mean for You and Your Community
  • Local Cities and Counties: Planning for Future Growth
  • Recognition of Local Success Stories
  • Middle-Market Housing: Changing the Narrative
  • Infill with Smaller Homes
  • Tools to Get Affordable Housing Built

Keynote presentation will be delivered by Deborah Flagan, vice president of community engagement for Redmond, Ore.-based Hayden Homes, which recently opened an office in Wenatchee. For three decades, Hayden Homes has provided more than 25,000 new homes for value-driven families in underserved communities throughout Washington state, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. In 2009, Hayden Homes launched the Simplicity by Hayden Homes brand as a build-on-your-land partner for private land-owners, public jurisdictions, nonprofits, employers, and investors looking to build workforce housing. Hayden Homes offers a variety of home sizes and designs to meet the goals of communities.

The summit will bring together builders, developers, realtors, bankers and others working in the housing industry, along with government officials and planners, social service workers, property owners, and other community members interested in learning more about the topic.

The cost is just $10 (which includes lunch), thanks to our wonderful sponsor, Danny Zavala Real Estate with Laura Mounter.

Aero Methow Rescue Service

GRANT RECIPIENT

Due to being rural, remote, and geographically isolated, we must be prepared to do more than respond to emergencies. We have become a healthcare partner who fills gaps in service. The grant allowed our board the time and ability to work with a Strategic Planner to modify our plan to address those gaps.

Scholarship Recipient

My father was a migrant agricultural worker who eventually started his own cherry and apple orchard. He told me if I wanted to live a better life, I had to get an education. I plan on starting a career with the Chelan PUD with a passion for renewable energy and in turn give back to my parents and community for supporting my dreams.
