The Housing Institute brings together municipal leaders, volunteers, and employees from communities across the Commonwealth to problem solve, network, and share ideas on the development process of affordable housing in three topic areas:
• Policy & Planning
• Affordable Housing Development
• Outreach & Advocacy
An optional site visit to affordable housing developments is planned. One of the many highlights will be the Housing Hero Awards ceremony on the second day of the conference, in which local officials, volunteers and communities are honored for their role in supporting affordable housing.
The 19th Housing Institute will be held in-person at the DCU Convention Center located at 50 Foster Street in Worcester.
Discounted early-bird registration opens on April 13 and ends on April 29. The final day to register is June 19. The first 50 people to register will receive a copy of keynote speaker Dr. Tiffany Manuel's new book Fast Track: Navigating Narrative Strategy, Power, and The Case for Justice.
