Program

The Permanent Supportive Housing Symposium is a platform for developers, property managers, service providers, health professionals, homelessness response organizations, and others to share best practices, collaborate, and gain insight into how to work together to move families and individuals out of housing instability and into permanent, service-enriched housing.

We hold the Symposium in the fall of every other year (odd numbered years).

Anyone interested in permanent supportive housing. Attendees commonly are housing developers, nonprofits, service providers, health professionals, financial entities, and homelessness response organizations.

We enhance the Symposium by offering add-ons like a tour of supportive housing communities and a Permanent Supportive Housing Academy.

Registration typically opens in the summer of odd numbered years. Check back here for updates on the next Symposium and registration information.
