This evening program will consist of a policy-focused panel entitled: The Future of Housing and Technology: Might Tech be the Key to Unlock Access & Options? moderated by PA State Representative Joseph Hohenstein.  Following the panel discussion, we'll end the evening with the Enabled Home Showcase.
