The City of Hendersonville invites the community to attend and participate in the 2026 Hendersonville Housing Summit.
This free event will take place on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the Hendersonville High School auditorium located at 1 Bearcat Blvd.
The evening will feature an unveiling of the City of Hendersonville’s community-driven Strategic Housing Plan, an overview of new housing initiatives, and an opportunity to provide input to strengthen collaboration around housing affordability challenges.
The summit is free and open to non-profit service providers, business representatives, government leaders, developers, lenders, affordable housing advocates, community members, and anyone committed to expanding and improving housing in Henderson County and across Western North Carolina.
This is the second housing summit hosted by the City of Hendersonville. The inaugural summit was held in 2024 as a kick-off for local government strategic housing planning efforts. Hendersonville High School has been a key collaborator in making the summits possible.
The City’s Strategic Housing Plan was developed with guidance from City Council and a volunteer steering committee made up of community stakeholders and housing providers. The plan was informed by the UNC School of Government’s Development Finance Initiative (DFI) housing needs assessment, affordable housing expert Shane Phillips, and extensive community input from Henderson County residents. Funding for the plan was provided through a grant from Dogwood Health Trust.
