Since the virtual summit is based on the idea that communities have a wide range of tools and options for affordable housing, there will be sessions that are appropriate for many different audiences who could be part of a broad coalition working to increase affordable housing in a community.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

• City and county leaders (mayors, city managers, county government leaders, commissioners, etc.)

• State and local housing leaders and staff, especially those responsible for strategies to increase affordable housing.

• Non-profit organizations involved with housing, health, reducing poverty, and improving neighborhood well-being.

• City planners involved with zoning, building codes, community development plans, and the like.

• Hospitals, health centers, clinics, health plans and others striving to better address Social Determinants of Health, improve upstream prevention, and reducing readmissions that are often due to a lack of stable healthy housing.
