Other City Staff attending this delegation will be Assistant City Manager, Lee Wilcox, and Housing Director, Erik Solivan. This delegation is designed to build cross-sector collaboration between Bay Area leaders in government, philanthropy, business, and community; identify policy, funding, and partnership pathways that can translate into scaled regional action; and learn from, utilize, and adapt successful large-scale campus models and community-based solutions in San Antonio and Austin.
