Join CNY Fair Housing and the Housing and Homeless Coalition of CNY for a one-day conference on addressing housing needs in unprecented times. Connect with other housing and human services experts to strategize on actionable paths forward as we grapple with record levels of homelessness, increasingly unaffordable housing, and an administration that threatens to exacerbate the existing housing crisis.
The "U3" conference will include a panel discussion, morning and afternoon breakout sessions with your choice of workshops, as well as a film screening and discussion to conclude the day. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
Attendees are welcome to select one of three workshops to attend for both the morning and afternoon breakout sessions. Details are below:
This workshop breaks down how affordable housing is financed, where it gets built, and how. We'll explore the layers of funding programs, what's currently at risk, and emerging models reshaping the future of housing development.
Everyone deserves safe, fair housing -- no matter where they're from. This workshop will cover housing protections for immigrants and refugees, how to recognize discrimination, and what resources are available for those navigating the housing system in a new country.
This session explores effective, humane strategies for reducing unsheltered homelessness—without relying on criminalization. We’ll examine why punitive approaches fail, what practical steps cities can take to address unsheltered homelessness, and how low-barrier shelter fits into a broader housing-first response.
Tenants working collectively can create real change in their housing through three main channels: organizing, political advocacy, and legal action. Join us for a discussion on how tenants can effectively use these strategies to build power and hold housing providers accountable.
How are shifting federal policies reshaping protections for LGBTQ individuals today? This session will unpack the evolving legal and political terrain around gender identity and sexual orientation, with a focus on key programs and protections such as the Equal Access Rule, the Runaway and Homeless Youth Program, and more.
As federal support for permanent supportive housing comes under threat, this workshop explores what supportive housing is, why it matters, how we can protect existing units, and what pathways exist to expand it.
Please specify which workshop you plan to attend when you register for the conference.
