2026 Housing Summit

Description

The Master Builders Association of Pierce County’s 2026 Housing Summit is a premier regional event bringing together industry leaders, elected officials, and community stakeholders to address one of the most pressing challenges facing our region—housing affordability and supply.

Taking place on Thursday, April 23, 2026, this half-day summit will welcome approximately 150+ attendees to the Pioneer Park Pavilion in Puyallup for a morning of insight, collaboration, and forward-thinking discussion.

Attendees will hear from a featured economist presenting a 2026 economic and housing forecast, offering valuable insight into market trends, interest rates, construction outlook, and regional growth. This data-driven presentation will help set the stage for meaningful conversations about the future of housing in Pierce County and across Washington State.

The program will also feature a panel discussion with  industry professionals and regional leaders who are actively shaping housing policy and development. Panelists will explore key topics including barriers to housing production and affordability, policy solutions to streamline permitting and reduce costs, workforce challenges impacting the construction industry, and opportunities for public-private partnerships to accelerate housing delivery.

This event is designed to foster productive conversations and actionable solutions. Whether you are a builder, developer, elected official, planner, or industry partner, the summit provides a valuable opportunity to engage directly with decision-makers, gain insight into the economic forces shaping housing trends, and connect with others committed to addressing the housing crisis.

As housing affordability continues to impact families, workforce stability, and economic growth, the 2026 Housing Summit will highlight how the homebuilding industry is helping lead the charge toward attainable housing solutions and stronger communities.
