Housing Matters Conference

Each year, Housing Action Illinois brings together more than 250 housing professionals who care about expanding and protecting affordable housing and ending homelessness in Illinois. Together, we build expertise, experience, and the capacity to make our communities better. During our in-person conference, we typically offer workshops in four different tracks:

• Public Policy Advocacy
• Ending Homelessness
• Housing Counseling
• Affordable Housing Development

We also bring participants together for opening and closing sessions, our annual membership meeting, and an evening networking reception.

Although we had originally planned to meet up again in person in Bloomington in 2020, concern for everyone’s health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic led us to shift plans. We brought our conference virtually in partnership with a national forum in 2020 and 2021.

We hope to meet up in person in 2022!
