The California Apartment Association will take part in a roundtable discussion next month about housing costs in Mountain View and the prospects for affordability.

Joshua Howard, senior vice president of local public affairs for CAA, will participate in the Civility Roundtable event Thursday, Nov. 6. The discussion will be dubbed “Can Housing in Mountain View Be Affordable?”

The event will include a community conversation about the local impacts of rapidly increasing housing costs in the region. Project Sentinel will provide facilitators for dialogue.

The talk marks the fifth in a series of forums held by the Mountain View Human Relations Commission. Previous events explored corporate responsibility, undocumented workers, gun violence at schools, and issues related to traffic and parking.

The participants will have a discussion at the center of the room, surrounded by the audience. The facilitator of the conversation, Chris Block, chief executive officer of the American Leadership Forum of Silicon Valley, will begin the discussion by asking questions.

Halfway through the conversation, the audience participates in direct communication with the participants.
