The conference will bring together over 600 advocates, service providers, government officials, and stakeholders from across Washington for two days of learning, networking, and advocacy to strengthen Washington’s movement to end homelessness. Check out our full conference program here; program highlights include:

  • Trainings on the intersection of homelessness and racial justice
  • Discussions of policy solutions at the local, state, and federal levels
  • Building the public will to end homelessness through community organizing and communication
  • Sessions on the intersection of homelessness, physical health, and behavioral health
  • Trainings on direct service delivery best practices

This year’s conference will also feature a Pre-Conference K-12 Student Homelessness Training on May 21, 2018. This training has a separate registration, and folks can opt to register just for this training, or both the training and the full conference.

Homelessness among K-12 students has more than doubled over the past decade in communities across Washington, and this training will bring together people working to support K-12 students experiencing homelessness for an all-day learning and networking event. This special event is ideal for education, affordable housing, homelessness, state and local government, and similar community stakeholders. Check-out the full program here; training topics will include:

  • The rights of K-12 students experiencing homelessness
  • Cross-sector community collaborations to end student homelessness
  • Models to support unaccompanied youth who are homeless
