Solutions for Housing Communications 2020-Virtual Convening

May 27, 2020

On May 27, NHC held our Solutions for Housing Communications virtual convening. This event was originally scheduled to take place in March at the National Press Club. Given COVID-19, NHC took necessary steps to cancel the in-person event, but we still wanted to bring people together to take part in important discussions around messaging, marketing and advocacy strategies to build support for affordable housing. We thank everyone for joining us via Zoom, especially all of our speakers and special keynote speakers Grovetta Gardineer, senior deputy comptroller for bank supervision policy for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and Conor Dougherty, New York Times economics reporter and author of “Golden Gates: Fighting for Housing in America.”

2020 Keynote Speakers

Conor Dougherty, New York Times economics reporter and author of “Golden Gates: Fighting for Housing in America,” was joined by NHC’s Bob Simpson for a special Q&A keynote.

“Golden Gates” chronicles America’s housing crisis from its West Coast epicenter, peeling back the decades of history and economic forces that brought us here and taking readers inside the activist uprisings that have risen in tandem with housing costs.
Grovetta N. Gardineer is the Senior Deputy Comptroller for Bank Supervision Policy at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). In this role, Ms. Gardineer directs the formulation of policies and procedures for the supervision and examination of national banks and federal savings associations, chairs the agency’s Committee on Bank Supervision, and serves on the OCC’s Executive Committee. Ms. Gardineer was joined by NHC President and CEO David Dworkin to discuss OCC’s response to the COVID-19 economic crisis and implementation of the final rule on the Community Reinvestment Act.
