At this year’s engaging and fast-paced half-day conference, Pattern will convene stakeholders in the Hudson Valley around some of the most urgent and complex housing issues communities are facing today. This program goes beyond the basics and digs into the legal and practical challenges that often get in the way of a housing market that works for everyone.

Charles “Chuck” Marohn, Founder and President of Strong Towns will bring a national perspective on the housing crisis, drawing on real-world examples and best practices from communities across the country. Chuck will explore how local governments are approaching challenges like short-term rental regulation and property taxation, and how these tools can be used more effectively to support housing availability and affordability. Known for his practical and often provocative approach, Charles will challenge participants to rethink conventional strategies and consider more resilient, locally grounded solutions.

Wade Beltramo, General Counsel to the New York Conference of Mayors will ground the conversation in the realities of New York State, offering clear, practical guidance on how state law shapes what municipalities can—and cannot—do. With deep expertise in land use and municipal law, Wade will translate complex legal frameworks to help participants identify actionable strategies tailored to our region’s unique challenges.
