We hope you will join us for an upcoming REMI webinar titled, “The Housing Crisis: Modeling Solutions with REMI“. This presentation is occurring from 2:00-3:00pm ET on Wednesday, July 16th. This webinar will be presented by Saanvi Bajaj, Sean McCarthy, and Owen Zinn-Keane from REMI.

Join us for an insightful webinar on the economic impacts of housing investment in Connecticut, where we will explore how addressing the critical housing shortage will lead to economic competitiveness, workforce retention, and regional revitalization. The state currently faces an estimated housing deficit of 100,000–150,000 units, with especially limited availability of affordable one- to two-bedroom homes suited for young adults and middle-income residents. In this webinar, we will use the REMI PI+ model to evaluate the economic, social, and fiscal impact of adding 10,000 new affordable housing units across Connecticut, highlighting potential consequences on employment, labor force participation, tax revenues and housing affordability for the younger population.

Our analysis will evaluate the potential benefits of new housing construction, including job creation, increased tax revenues, improved affordability, and stronger consumer spending. We’ll also examine how targeted development can better serve Connecticut’s emerging workforce and stabilize regional economies. Whether you are a policymaker, developer, or community advocate, this session will offer insights into how housing investment may influence economic growth, affordability, and access for residents of different age and income groups.
