Pancakes & Politics: A Housing Policy Roundtable | Realtist Week 2026

Housing policy is being decided right now. The question is: are you in the room?

Pancakes & Politics is a moderated morning roundtable that brings Houston elected officials, housing advocates, and real estate professionals together for a direct, policy-focused conversation about what it will take to close the Black homeownership gap in Houston.

This is not a panel. This is a roundtable -- a conversation where every voice in the room matters and where the goal is alignment between political influence and real estate production.

TOPICS ON THE TABLE

• The state of Black homeownership in Houston
• Affordable housing supply, zoning, and policy barriers
• Down payment assistance programs and access to capital
• The role of elected officials in expanding housing opportunity
• What the real estate community needs from city and county leadership

FEATURED VOICES (INVITED)

• CM Tiffany D. Thomas
• U.S. Rep. Christian Menefee (TX-18)
• Annise Parker

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

• Realtists, brokers, and agents engaged in housing advocacy
• Community leaders and nonprofit housing partners
• Anyone who believes real estate professionals have a seat at the policy table
