May 28 from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm

Join Design Advocacy Group (DAG) for a special event as we host Angela Brooks, Philadelphia’s new Chief Housing & Urban Development Officer and Immediate Past President of the American Planning Association (APA), for a one-on-one conversation that will touch on issues related to affordable and accessible housing and community development. In this newly established role in Philadelphia’s administration, Brooks will oversee the implementation of Mayor Parker’s Housing Plan, which aims to achieve the goal of creating and preserving 30,000 units of housing. Leah Eppinger, Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of Dauphin and President of APA’s Pennsylvania chapter, will moderate the discussion. This event is a collaboration between DAG and APA Pennsylvania, and will be held at the Center for Design Philadelphia, 1218 Arch Street, Philadelphia PA 19107.
