Vienna’s innovative housing model blends affordability, quality, and community for all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, USA, April 11, 2024 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — The Global Policy Leadership Academy (GPLA), a transformative educational institution within the LeSar Portfolio of Firms, is excited to announce its summer 2024 Vienna Social Housing Field Study. This pioneering program offers an invaluable, immersive learning experience for leaders and changemakers addressing housing affordability challenges.<\/p>\n As the United States in general and California in particular grapple with the complex issues of housing affordability and homelessness, there is a desire among housing leaders to learn about proven models that can help solve these complex problems. Many housing leaders are beginning to look at social housing models to explore ideas that can be incorporated in the United States. Among the various models of social housing, Vienna offers great insights into a successful model that has created thriving neighborhoods with housing for all incomes.<\/p>\n GPLA has invested in deep research and relationships in Vienna to explore Vienna\u2019s program. The Vienna Social Housing Field Study, in its third year, provides an immersive educational opportunity in one of the world’s most successful examples of affordable housing in the world. Participants from diverse professional backgrounds explore Vienna’s exceptional social housing model, engaging in interdisciplinary discussions on housing and affordability issues that impact communities across the United States.<\/p>\n During the upcoming cohort, July 14 \u2013 20, 2024, field study participants will gain deep insight into the history and development of Vienna\u2019s unique social housing model, exploring detailed aspects of urban planning, construction, financing, land management, and more. This will be the 5th iteration of the field study for GPLA, solidifying its reputation as a premier immersive experience provider for leaders eager to explore Vienna, engage with infrastructure specialists, and connect with communities firsthand.<\/p>\n Jennifer LeSar, Founder and CEO of the LeSar Portfolio of Firms, renowned for her expertise in affordable housing and homelessness solutions, emphasizes the significance of the Vienna Social Housing Field Study, stating, “It’s a transformative experience at a critical time with great potential to influence positive change in our approach to housing challenges in California.”<\/p>\n Key highlights of the six-day program include: The impact of the Vienna experience is highlighted by past delegation members, including Holly Mitchell, Los Angeles County Supervisor 2nd District, who attended the GPLA field study in 2023. \u201cTo truly understand social housing in Vienna, you need to be here. Experiencing it firsthand with others who share similar experiences allows for challenging assumptions and continuous learning. It’s an investment in personal growth, leadership, and embracing the idea that we don’t have all the answers,\u201d she states. <\/p>\n In addressing key differences between the US and European housing ecosystems, Anu Natarajan, Managing Director of the Global Housing Practice at GPLA, highlights the power of the field study\u2019s immersive format, stating, “Attendees gain valuable insight on everything from the role of government in social housing to practical ideas on how to create permanent housing affordability for all through intensive sessions with key influencers of Vienna\u2019s active model. It\u2019s the type of experience decision-makers can\u2019t get from reading articles alone.”<\/p>\n Registration for the July 2024 field study closes on April 30, 2024.
