Common Ground Learning Series
Presented by the Alliance for Housing and Climate Solutions
The Common Ground Learning Series is a six-part program that brings together partners and allies to explore the interconnection of housing and environmental issues in California. Our goal is to develop a shared language, identify areas of differing knowledge or perspectives, and build relationships across sectors.
By participating, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the complex challenges facing California, learn from diverse perspectives across housing and environmental sectors, contribute to finding innovative solutions for a sustainable future, and build valuable relationships with other stakeholders.
We'll meet online once a month and then gather together in person in Northern and Southern California in March. While we know it is a big commitment, this process will be richest for those who are able to attend a majority or all of the sessions.
