Housing Justice Network Conference
The Housing Justice Network Conference!
SEPTEMBER 4-6, 2024
Minneapolis, MN
Thank you to everyone who attended, who facilitated a workshop, and who played a part in making this year’s Housing Justice Network Conference in Minneapolis such a joyful event. The conference was an excellent opportunity to meet with colleagues and build our collective power to advance housing justice for low-income families across the country. We learned, reflected, and grew professionally as network members from across the country shared successful client strategies, studied emerging issues, identified policy priorities, and enjoyed thought provoking plenary speakers.
