North Star to Host Housing Forum

North Star will host a housing forum on September 3, 2025, at the Skagit County Area in Burlington, Ontario, focusing on current housing market challenges. Professor Gregg Colburn from the University of Washington College of Built Environments will deliver the keynote address. Attendees will include local leaders and representatives from non-profit organizations, all aiming to collaborate on innovative solutions to housing issues. The event is particularly important for Skagit County, where the housing market has seen significant shifts. This forum will provide a platform for community stakeholders to voice their concerns and propose actionable strategies.

According to recent data, housing affordability has declined in many regions, making such discussions vital. By engaging local voices, the forum aims to foster a community-driven approach to housing solutions. This initiative aligns with broader efforts to enhance economic stability and community well-being in the area.
