Advertiser Staff

More than 800 people representing churches, nonprofits and unions are expected to gather Saturday in Kalihi to discuss affordable housing.

The meeting will be held at St. Theresa Co-Cathedral Church, on School Street. It runs from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Several lawmakers have also pledged to attend the gathering, sponsored by Faith Action for Community Equity in Hawai'i.

Attendees will discuss the city's decision to sell its affordable housing complexes, and how the state can increase its housing inventory.

Speakers include City Councilman Rod Tam and state Housing and Community Development Director Dan Davidson.
