At East Tennessee History Center

Nearly every city in America is experiencing a severe shortage of affordable housing. All too often historic districts are identified as the major cause of this crisis. The reality is, however, that historic and older housing need to be at the center of any affordable housing strategy. This session will focus on why and how historic preservation is part of the affordable housing solution as well as other findings on the impact of historic preservation in recent years.
