Call for Presenters

Thank you to everyone who submitted proposals for workshops! The deadline for submitting a proposal (May 13, 2022) has now passed.

Celebrating 35 Years

This year, we will be celebrating our 35th Anniversary at the conference. We look forward to seeing both familiar and new faces as we toast to our accomplishments and renew our commitment to build a better future.

As we reflect on how far we’ve come together, we also want to thank the housing champions who make a difference every day, whether by conducting intake at homeless shelters, counseling first-time homeowners, urging legislators to take action, sharing personal stories to shed light on critical issues, or doing other work in our field. Submit someone for acknowledgement at the conference (deadline September 30, 2022).

About Housing Matters

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.
