A Note from Frank Wells, CEO

Central Florida is a region of complexity and contrasts:  Downtowns and suburbs and rural areas. Tourists, transplants, and multi-generation locals. Businesses and academia and government and nonprofits and faith communities. Many colors, many languages, many creeds, many situations and circumstances. Each group with different needs and wants and dreams. HOUSD was formed to engage these voices from across Central Florida so we put each unique neighborhood’s priorities front and center when planning the future of housing in our region. We need every sector and voice pulling together – and dissenting sometimes too –  to transform our shared future. We need stories, numbers, data, policies, dollars, expertise, capacity, organizations, people, of course.  But most of all?  This is your home.  We need YOU.
