Frequently Asked Questions…
what is Expansion Day on September 15?
We had so much material for the virtual summit, that we decided to add an extra day!, which we’re calling an “Expansion Day” on September 15. Even if you only have a free pass, this provides many benefits.
We’re planning 8 new sessions, which can be viewed at their designated times that day.
This extension means that any pass now continues to give you access to the Video Library until September 16. (Seriously… check out those recordings. They got enthusiastic reviews from hundreds of participants earlier this year.)
We’ll have 2 Live Panel Discussions and more! >>SEE THE SCHEDULE FOR THE EXPANSION DAY<<.
When can I start viewing the content?
Everyone who registers (including the Free Pass) will immediately get access to the video library, including:
The April 21 webinar on Economical Breakthrough Strategies to Increase Affordable Housing in Your Community. Hundreds of people viewed that webinar and the majority rated it a 10 out of 10 in the post-webinar survey. One dedicated affordable housing professional who worked over 25 years with HUD and spent decades with housing non-profits wrote:
“Bill puts into words what many of us have been thinking. He suggests we look deeper for the answers to affordable housing, and he supports his ideas with data and reason. If you watch no other webinar about affordable housing solutions...watch this one!"
-- Gary Hanes, Gary E. Hanes & Associates, LLC
Several other videos, including an inspiring case study showing how a multi-faceted strategy has created “Communities of Hope” in Detroit.
A 20-minute video of Bill Barberg presenting at a national conference on using “Abundant and Multiplying Resource”.

Who is the Population Health Learning Collaborative (PopHLC)?
In 2018, a group of consultants, technology vendors, public health professionals, and academics were musing about how there was such a huge need for people involved with population health and public health to learn more about the many new possibilities for doing community health assessments and then developing (and implementing) the community health improvement plans that focused more on the upstream factors and Social Determinants of Health.
One thing we agreed on was that it was not economically practical to bring all the key stakeholders to the big national conferences. We felt that the new distance learning technology could allow us to very economically bring world-class training right to the communities.
We launched with a 5-hour “Virtual Workshop” in May of 2019 and have done monthly webinars since. Tragically, one of the co-founders, Ron Deprez, Ph.D., MPH, the Executive Director of the Public Health Research Institute and is an Associate Research Professor at the University of New England (UNE), developed serious health issues during the summer of 2019 and recently passed away. Bill Barberg, President of InsightFormation and another of the co-founders, has taken on the main leadership role since then.
After doing a survey of people who had been viewing the webinars, the issue of affordable housing and homelessness was the top issue. So, we decided to focus on that for a big Virtual Summit in 2020.
Is the PopHLC a 501(c)3 Non-profit Organization?
Not currently. It started as a collaborative project with the idea that if we got enough momentum, we’d make the investment in creating a separate non-profit organization. That is still the direction we’re heading.
How can the Virtual Summit be so affordable and still be good? Don’t you get what you pay for?
Technology is amazing! The participating organizations had already invested in excellent technology for webinars and creating videos, and it typically doesn’t cost more to use those platforms more. So that was an easy “in-kind” support for the PopHLC. (We practice what we preach!)
Speakers for breakout sessions at most of the big national conferences are rarely paid, and they often end up spending thousands of dollars for travel and discounted registrations to share their message with a relatively small group of people. We make it easy for presenters to deliver similar content to a much larger group without requiring them to pay the cost of travel or conference fees.
Our presenters are passionate about how what they have to share can be a part of a community strategy to address the affordable housing crisis, so none of them are compensated to present. But, we set the same expectations as would be the case in the national conference presentations. These are educational sessions that need to deliver solid value. They are not sales presentations.
Prior to this virtual summit, all the PopHLC content was delivered for free (with the help of a few sponsors). We decided that a very affordable fee for the virtual summit was the best way to make this a sustainable venture.
