2025 State of Housing Breakfast

Dear Community Partner,

The Mount Washington Valley Housing Coalition (MWVHC) invites you to attend our Annual State of Housing Breakfast on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Fairbank Lodge at Cranmore Mountain Resort in North Conway, NH.

This year’s theme, “Zoning Changes Aren’t Enough: What Support Structures Are Working Elsewhere That We Can Recreate in the Mount Washington Valley?”, reflects our growing understanding that land-use reform, while essential, is only one piece of the affordable housing puzzle. This event will explore the innovative support structures and policies being implemented in other communities and how they can inspire and inform local solutions in the MWV.

We are pleased to feature the following speakers:

• Ryan Fecteau, Speaker, Maine House of Representatives
  Topic: What Maine Has Done to Address Affordable Housing
• Jim Wogan, Director of Lending, Evernorth
  Topic: Affordable Housing Funds: Overview and Community Impacts
• Larissa Crockett, Executive Director, Neighborhood Housing Trust
  Topic: How Community Land Trusts Can Support Housing Needs
• Nick Taylor, Executive Director, Housing Action NH
  Topic: State-Level Policy in NH: Legislative Updates and Priorities

Coffee and a light continental breakfast will be served at 8am and speakers will begin at 8:30am.

Tickets are free, though we suggest a $25 donation to support the ongoing work of MWVHC in advocating for housing solutions in our valley.

We would be honored by your presence and participation in this important conversation.
