Housing affordability throughout the U.S. has once again become an increasing concern as demand has bounced back following the Great Recession in both urban and suburban areas. A largely untold chapter in the story of America’s housing affordability challenge is the shrinking share of modestly-priced, newly-constructed, for-sale homes—what ULI calls “attainable housing.”

During each Wednesday in May, ULI Northwest Arkansas will host a one-hour digital event to explore the topic of attainability more deeply. Over the four-week series, speakers will reveal supply and demand trends, emerging housing types, a case study, and a roundtable discussion about the future of middle-class housing affordability in Northwest Arkansas.

As the millennial generation has come of age, the development community has largely responded by focusing on its youngest members. Often single, urban, and transient, these individuals have driven the construction of the luxury rental apartment buildings that now line the central business districts, mixed-use neighborhoods, and rapidly changing suburbs of most major metropolitan areas. At the same time, new development has often neglected one of the largest and most critical renter segments: Families.
