Summer Greathouse will participate in a panel discussion on “Repurposed, Renewed, Rehoused: Adaptive Re-Use in Action Emerging Trends & Hot Topics” at the TAAHP – Texas Housing Conference. This session explores how adaptive reuse can help address housing affordability by transforming underutilized properties into affordable and workforce housing while preserving community character. Through real-world case studies, experienced professionals will discuss office, school, hotel, and other adaptive reuse projects, highlighting strategies for overcoming regulatory challenges, aligning stakeholder interests, and delivering successful developments. Attendees in housing, development, planning, architecture, government, and community development will gain practical insights into the opportunities and complexities of adaptive reuse as a housing solution.
Summer will also speak on “From the Capitol to the Community: Your Toolkit for Texas Housing Advocacy Legislative & Policy.” This session provides a practical guide to effective advocacy for affordable housing during the 90th Texas Legislative Session. Featuring a panel of Capitol insiders—including a former state senator, a housing attorney, and a legislative strategist—attendees will learn how to build relationships with lawmakers, conduct impactful property tours, monitor key legislation, and navigate the legislative process with confidence.
