Wake Up to the Issues: Housing Lancaster's Workforce

October 14, 2026 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM (EDT)

Description

As Lancaster County continues to grow, access to housing that is affordable and available for our workforce is becoming an increasingly important economic issue. The ability of workers to live near where they work impacts employers' ability to attract and retain talent, supports the strength of our communities, and plays a critical role in Lancaster County's long-term economic competitiveness.

Join the Lancaster Chamber for Wake Up to the Issues: Housing Lancaster’s Workforce, a timely discussion examining the current state of housing in Lancaster County and the solutions being pursued locally and across Pennsylvania. From housing supply and affordability to workforce housing initiatives, development barriers, and state programs, this conversation will explore what it will take to ensure Lancaster County has the housing needed to support a growing workforce and economy.

Hear from housing and policy experts as they examine the data behind Lancaster County's housing landscape, initiatives already underway in our community, and the programs and policies being advanced at the state level. Whether your business is struggling to attract workers, concerned about affordability, planning for future growth, or simply interested in Lancaster County's economic future, this conversation will provide valuable insight into why housing has become a critical workforce issue.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with panelists during a moderated discussion and audience Q&A, leaving with a better understanding of the challenges facing our housing market, the work already happening to address them, and the opportunities for employers, policymakers, and community partners to be part of the solution.
