COME HOME Delta Housing Symposium
Join Communities Unlimited and the Dumas Housing Taskforce at the COME HOME Delta Housing Symposium. We will start the day with a Mayors’ Breakfast with a roundtable discussion with Delta Mayors or their representative. Then, we will discuss opportunities in housing, how to build a housing workforce, resources and opportunities to repair or expand community infrastructure, and what is available and what is needed to meet the housing development and preservation needs. There will be a break in the middle for lunch, provided at no cost, and the day will end with networking and refreshments.
