	pportunities in development\, financing\, and related sectors\, yet the fi
	eld affords relatively few opportunities to women and people of color. Nea
	rly 111\,000 of the 112\,000 real estate development companies in the U.S.
	 are white-owned\, and only about a third of the workforce is women and 2%
	 of C-level positions are held by Black men. California is adopting reform
	s to increase homebuilding\, both to improve affordability and address rac
	ial and ethnic disparities in housing outcomes\, but more housing producti
	on also offers the possibility of addressing disparities in the real estat
	e sector itself. This panel\, featuring Los Angeles-based Black and women 
	housing development professionals\, will discuss the challenges and opport
	unities for advancing diversity and inclusion in the field. During the con
	versation\, they will address questions such as: How can people from under
	represented groups enter and succeed in the development industry\, and hou
	sing development specifically? What barriers keep them from doing so\, and
	 how can those barriers be broken down? And what benefits could come from 
	a more diverse development sector\, both for individuals and society?\n\nR
	egistration is Free. Visit the Event Page to sign up.  Optional Parking in
	 UCLA Parking Structure 4 Visitor Area parking is available at rates of $3
	-$15 (1 hour to All Day) for Pay by Spaces.\n\nSource: https://community.u
